A Way Back, encaustic and paper on panel, 12" x 12"
In her artist statement she writes:
I'm drawn to things that have layers of history.
Be it handwritten letters, journals, old books, rusty metal, postage stamps, buttons, teeth, animal bones, or bits of fabric; my studio is filled with objects I've collected or unearthed. I'm a scavenger for the lost or forgotten things that have interesting textures, colors, and surfaces. I like to imagine the stories that these treasures hold.
