Virtual Gallery 708

The design of the work reflects an integration of forms revealing a synergy that results in a visual dynamic of energy where the parts are supported by the whole. My sculpture uses archival paper to reflect on the grace, flow, and complexity of life that is fragile, yet is enduring and strong when placed together.

As an artist, I have taught full-time in higher education. I started full time teaching at Wichita State University in Wichita, Kansas, where I was an assistant professor. I have also taught full-time at Newman University in Wichita, Kansas, where I was an associate professor. I have also taught as an adjunct art instructor at Bethany College in Lindsborg, Kansas. I have been the art studio manager for Clayworks at Disability Support of the Great Plains.

As a sculptor, I create art daily. I exhibit regionally and locally.

I remember making art as a public school student, starting my visual art education at Salina High School - South in Kansas. I later earned a Bachelor of arts degree from Bethany College in Lindsborg, Kansas, a Master of Arts degree from Eastern Illinois University in Charleston, Illinois, and a Master of Fine Arts degree from Southern Illinois University - Carbondale in Carbondale, Illinois.
