Medium & Size:  Stain, acrylic, ink, shellac, and metal pins on wood.  21 7/8" L x 8 5/8" H x 3/4" D.  For indoor display only.

Artist Statement:  I'm drawn to the more simple style of creating—choosing my subject or content and allowing the art to speak for itself. I enjoy making art that the viewer can relate to or make a personal connection with. Whatever the subject matter, I want the overall message and feeling of the piece to be conveyed clearly and evoke emotion.

She earned her B.A. in Art Education from Kent State University and master's degree in Special Education from Lesley University.
