Statement
My life and passion for art resemble a quilt
Each patch is different
Texture, dimension, and bold colors
Oil, gold leaf, watercolor and collage
Metal, wood, and canvas
Up close and personal
Like my relationships with the world
Light and dark, hard and soft, serious and playful
So many expressions
It’s my joy, it’s my bliss
I call you into my world
Sit down on my quilt
And stay for a while
Biography
I have been involved in Kenya since my first visit there in 2000. My soul was touched forever by my experience. Having had a previous career as a Pediatric Nurse Practitioner, my love and care for children was solidified there. Since then, every dollar I make with my art goes directly to helping provide education for the kids of Kenya. I return every year to oversee their progress and douse them with love. I believe very strongly in the concept of “pay it forward” and that is what my art allows me to do. My years in pediatrics and art blend together to make its purpose even more profound for me. It’s my guiding belief that by educating and empowering girls, we are able to change the face of poverty.
