Highlight for Album: The Looking Glass Lounge
Album: The Looking Glass Lounge

The Looking Glass Lounge – 2005-2007 – is an adaptable installation originally created for HAUS in Pasadena. The Lounge has also appeared at the Riverside Art Museum (solo show in the alcove gallery), at Los Angeles Art Association/Gallery 825 and as a window display at the Homestead House in Pasadena through Phantom Galleries and LAAA. The installation reflects individual voices of popular fictional female characters from various cultural/historical time periods. Mirrors - associated with vanity, reflection and self-analysis – seem a natural medium for this exploration. The approach is basically theatrical – using writers (like Virginia Woolf), characters (like Mrs. Dalloway) and actors. The viewer assumes the role of actor by reading the line or quote which is reflected in the mirror along with their own image. Creating an atmosphere that is beautiful and secluded sets the stage for this investigation.

Highlight for Album: Epidermis Emporium
Album: Epidermis Emporium

The Epidermis Emporium – a sculptural installation presented at Kristi Engle Gallery, in downtown Los Angeles, March 2007 and at "TarFest" in 2006. Epidermis Emporium is a tongue in check look at how we view the skin we live in - the human body and its sacred (honored) and profane (misused) aspects. This dicotomy is followed by presenting the figure in a reverential way while actively implying sale-ablilty. There are three sculptural components to the Emporium: The Sacrafane Collection, the Platinum Collection and the Painted Ladies. All of these sculptures mimic the shape of the commercial dress form but are treated as a traditional sculptural torsos.

Highlight for Album: The Clearing
Album: The Clearing

The Clearing, exhibited at Main Street Gallery in Pomona, is in part a response to the southern California wildfires we experience from time to time. My vision was to create an installation wherein blackened branches coexist with butterflies (the eternal symbol for transformation). The connection to flight or spirit is grounded with rooted female forms – the connection to the earth.
