My work is inspired by the natural world. Its beauty and its cruelty.
Its hostility and its hospitality. Its paradoxes and its contrasts.

The gem series approaches the conflicts between the beauty of gemstones and the cost at which they are mined - both environmental and human. We live in a world in a time, where our own pleasure and the need for luxury and beauty, give precedence over the rights and needs of others. In a political climate of arrogance, ignorance and greed at the cost of virtually anyone, but the richest and most powerful, the role of art has once again gained drastic importance. Artists must be unwavering and give society a mirror to reflect it's obscure obsession with possession, power and misguided patriotism.

ARTIST STATEMENT
The pursuit of being an artist has been the only constant thing in my life for as long as I can remember. Even when I was a little girl I would sit and doodle for hours. In fact, I believe my grandmother actually kept some of my childhood drawings from before I could even speak a complete sentence.
