I was browsing looking for inspiration when I happened to land on a gallery of memorials in an Italian cemetery. This large, beautiful Angel was made from granite and stood atop the grave of a young woman who passed in 1906. Her young husband had it placed there. I was moved by the story and the Angel, and recreated the work in paper as a relief sculpture. The Angel is mounted and floats above the surface of the acrylic painted canvas.

I am a self-taught visual artist, as well as a regularly published fiction writer and multi-optioned screenwriter. I’m grateful to have an international reach in all the arts I practice, as connecting to things and people outside my experience excites me and makes me happy. To me, life is mysterious and spiritual, and when it needs to be spoken of, I think art, any art, is the best language to speak about that mystery. I work with papers, acrylics and mixed medias, often in relief style where my works have the qualities of abstract painting, design, and sculpture all bound dramatically and beautifully together. I think this is the result of a night in Niagara Falls when I was 6 years old. Ask me about that if we meet in person.
