“My work crosses back and forth between depicting both Wretched and Divine...it is a scale of life we all experience as humans, therefore both themes show up naturally in my work. Perhaps the state of wretchedness is more obviously visual than divine which is much more a subjective opinion. For some reason, it was easier today to select wretched images than divine. To my way of thinking, "Divine" is a state of mind while "Wretched" is more metaphorical. Maybe it is just that Wretched as a state of being is a little more complex and curious than Divinity. Or not. I don't know.”

“As a woman, I make art about women. It is what I know, see, and understand best, and what I feel most qualified to share artistically through my own particular feminist viewpoint. My images depict women experiencing unusual circumstances within the realm of ordinary everyday occurrences.
These images present conflicted, sometimes confused; self-assured women searching, evolving, becoming.”
