I use dream-like imagery in my art to enhance or provide a different way of looking at everyday reality. My works are symbolically structured and mostly based on my personal experiences. The figure is central in my work, and I and my family are often represented. 
Presently, my primary focus is block printing, though I occasionally work with other media. Using color to create mood or atmosphere is very important in my prints, and I use the color reduction technique to achieve this. I carve both linoleum and wood for my printmaking work. These blocks are printed with oil-based inks on paper using a press. 
I’m currently working with two themes. In the transition series, I create contrasting environments of safety and danger, sometimes composing womb-like settings with the subject in various stages of emergence or retreat. I’ve also recently started drawings for a series of block prints containing folklore and fairy tale elements based on my family history. 
I live in Alabama with my husband, three children, and various rodents. I attend the University of Alabama part-time and am slowly working towards obtaining my BFA.
