I like  to use many different tools and media in my paintings, including encaustics, oil, acrylic, relief prints, monotypes, silkscreen, leftover latex paint, automotive primer, brushes, a screwdriver, a plumbing torch, razor blades, a heat gun, old drawings, bits of paper, ruined brushes, and used guitar strings to create my suburban-mother/conspiracy-theorist esthetic.  I am represented by Elevation Gallery in Canmore, Alberta (www.elevationgallery.ca), and  Stratus Gallery in Banff, Alberta, both wonderful galleries in beautiful places.  I enjoyed showing encaustic paintings at Auburn City Hall Galelry during the month of April, and conducting an encaustic workshop on April 24, in the Veteran's Memorial Building, 405 E Street NE, Auburn, WA for the Auburn Arts Commission/City of Auburn.
