Artist Statement:
I began flipping houses with my husband when I moved to Bend eight years ago. In staging the homes, I realized art was missing from the walls, so I began creating large collages. Never able to find the kind of wildly colored paper I was looking for, I used acrylic paints on fabric and canvas and cut them into fun shapes to express the joy I feel living in the PNW.
