My body of work often deals with themes related to liminal space. I am both an artist and a genealogist, often integrating these two passions in my artwork. Themes of family history and memory are clearly situated at the nexus between past and present. Dreams also bridge two worlds.  In my artwork, I take what resides inside or between and make it visible, finding the transformative power of that hidden space. Often my work starts with research. Whether it is what is inside a chrysalis or how burls form within a tree, it leads me in ways I can’t anticipate. What connects this liminal space is story which often serves as my creative engine. I explore this material through both painting, collage and storytelling,
