bio:
I was born and raised in St. Louis Mo. After spending 20 years in Los Angeles I moved with my husband, Michael to Santa Fe, New Mexico.
Even though I use photography as an art form, I don’t consider myself a “photographer” but an image-maker, as I create work that bridges the world of photography, prints and collage. It was a confluence of technical advancements and creative desire that culminated in my current explorations in photo-inspired art using both a camera to capture imagery and a computer to alter, combine and manipulate the pieces.
Statement:
Project Statement; Life Out of Balance
I feel that “Life Out of Balance” is a perfect description of our current state of affairs, both environmental and political. Humanity has grown apart from nature and I strive to show that with my photo montages. I hope to provoke my viewers to raise questions and come to their own conclusions. The Hopi word for “life out of balance” is Koyaanisqatsi. This was a film directed by Godfrey Reggio and released in late 2004 (created between 1975 and 1982). I was immediately enthralled by the imagery and music (by Phillip Glass).
