“Back to the Garden”

“Back to the Garden” was a temporary window installation at Thistle & Bess in Ann Arbor, Michigan in 2021. The color palette was inspired by blooming peonies, purple irises, wild ivy wines, soft pink dahlias, heirloom tomatoes, basil leaves, and hot peppers.

“What the Water Gave Me”

“What the Water Gave Me” is a 480 sq ft. meditative installation created in 2020. Large sweeping blue brush strokes make their way across twelve white aluminum composite panels. The texture of the piece reflects the quiet, uncertain and emergent energies of 2020. I wanted to create a piece that would allow viewers to disappear into the work. I am repeatedly drawn to blue. As I sketched and then painted this mural I thought about the peace and power of water - especially in the context of the Great Lakes region. In moments of anxiety and uncertainty I am grounded by the movements and colors of water. “What the Water Gave Me” is a part of my ongoing squiggle series.
