"In my work, I desire to build understanding by the use of universal symbols, history, and mythology. Hopefully, these images allow one to see the familiar in a different way; and to meet ancient, hidden things. All cultures have unique traditions yet share a commonality. I like to find those visual symbols that cross centuries, oceans, and language. The power of these archetypes charts the path to the center, the source, the crossroads; where we meet as all women, all men, all children, all animals, and all things, connected in oneness."

"The female side of both history and mythology is important to depict in a fresh way to include the perspective of all women. I believe that we are a human family. It is very important that the diversity of the world's cultures, especially indigenous, be preserved. And; that we consider the earth, Our Mother, seven generations into the future in all decisions. "
