Her cut paper process allows her to translate observations, a way of mending and meditating on matters at hand, holding concentration and playfulness in the same hand. Paper is her footpath — it keeps her wondering, fascinated, surprised, and searching for all the possibilities such a simple material holds. She maintains an awareness for patterns, cycles, reciprocal relationships, and balance.
She holds a BFA and K-12 Art Education degree from Metropolitan State University of Denver, and an MFA from Washington State University. She has lived on the Palouse since 2007 and is the Clinical Assistant Professor of Art Education at the University of Idaho.
