Inspired by the light, culture and natural beauty of the southwest, this new series of evocative landscapes are mixed media works incorporating my hand-painted papers resulting in unique texrtures and effects that cannot be achieved through paint alone. Some paintings depict actual landmarks; others depict indigenous ceremonies, pueblos and Spanish mission churches designed to capture a sense of community and cultural interconnectedness. Influenced by the Native American art of storytelling, I often incorporate images and symbols that hold deep multicultural and spiritual significance across generations.
