Hire This Artist

I am a mixed media artist primarily using assemblage, collage, sculpting, photography and beading. My work explores the prevalence in our culture of sexism, ageism, homophobia, and misogyny, and the worshipping at the feet of physical beauty and perfection. Of course, we are, by and large, a society that demands political correctness now (except for Donald Trump, apparently), but those age-old prejudices linger and permeate our social, religious, and and professional structures. I am not, by definition, a bra-burning, angry feminist, but I spent over 30 years clawing my way up the corporate ladder, and, hopefully, paving the way for women who will come after me. Prejudice and tolerance are sometimes silent, but always devastating because if you don't know that you are being victimized, you can't defend or protect yourself or challenge the status quo.
My work juxtaposes feminine imagery with masculine traits and vice versa. It challenges what is socially acceptable and visually beautiful using surreal imagery, but always with a sense of humor and a little mystery. In this black and white world (my favorite colors, by the way) I love to create that uncomfortable gray area that can't be defined necessarily, but can be understood on a deeper level if the viewer looks hard enough.
