i spent part of my childhood in albuquerque, nm and as a young adult moved to santa fe. i have since moved back and forth between central and northern new mexico, but now find permanence, roots and home with my husband michael in santa fe. i am mother to two daughters who are half blood navajo (dine’). these two young women bring me joy beyond measure, pride that swells my heart, hope for our collective future and a deep desire to love out loud. i find the language of art a fundamental form of communication. my art is my dictionary, my thesaurus, my way of claiming words and giving them form. the creative process is a natural extension of my thoughts. words become images - become ideas - become form - become expression. linked. complete. this process is a way for me to speak beyond words, straight – quite literally – to the heart of the matter. past gender, race, religion and language to the voice within us all. creating is my spiritual journey. this journey has taken me down many path
