The Wind Children Series–-the timelessness of children running through time....

Nike Sky (pictured above) combines  the image of a running girl  crossing through millennia of art history from the Nike of Samothrace to present day Parisian graffiti.


This series is informed by  travel to France, Jamaica, Maine and Italy .  Recurring images meet across time and space converging like memories in a dream.   The Wind Children Series enters into the magical world of play, fantasy  and creation.

Earth Mother (2010) was the first in a series of artworks based on motherhood, culminating in a series of 6 images in the Family Bed Series in collaboration with poet Teri Ellen Cross for the exhibit This is Our Body.

My images often cross borders–between artifice and reality, addressing the relation of past to present, issues of femininity, political concerns–

a poetic translation of my camera’s view of the landscapes I have travelled and pure whimsy.
