My artwork has always addressed romantic love in one way or another. I find love to be such a driving force in our decision making process. We spend our entire life searching for love. Our personal views of love determine how we see ourselves and how we interact with each other.

Contemporary sexuality diminishes what intimacy is and negates what is our natural interaction with it. We are being continually bombarded with thirty-second views of hypersexual beings that are not completely human as they do not mirror ourselves and end up becoming abstract. This consumerist realities erases our connection to more fulfilling versions of beauty, kindness, romance and sensuality.

My art makes a connection with this natural version of love. I explore images about sexuality and intimacy that highlight love and sexuality. The couples that live in my artwork follow the mating dance that lives in our collective consciousness.

Popular iconography is an important part of my visual language. I use the easily understood language of popular objects as a framework to speak about how we use objects to communicate with others and give messages about love and desire. The objects that are used to communicate in a relationship hold meaning and memories, and become a personal if not a sacred fetish object. They hold the feelings we have felt and imagine we will in the future. The object brings us closer to that other person, but it also holds such power that our feelings for the person may be transplanted to the object and lives in tandem with the person or our attachment to them.

Each drawing is small delicate yet within each there is an image of fetish and sexuality. People will be expecting a gentle, dainty image, what they will get is an image full of fetish and sensuality. This creates a play with the viewer on what it means to be feminine, as well as speak to the full aspect of love and sensuality, not just the pink, docile and sweet. 

Color and theme are important tools in my artwork. As The Magnetic Fields song "Love is Like a Bottle of Gin" states" it has no color in itself but it can make you see rainbows".  Reds, oranges, and pinks direct our eyes to passion, love, lust and romance. They immediately gives us feelings of warmth and make us think of roses, panties, velvet, hearts, lace, Valentine's Day, and Spring and Summer-when all fauna and flora finds itself looking for a mate.

I want the viewer to feel intimate with the sexuality in my work as well as with the artwork itself. I find that the size of my work pulls the viewer in to see all the detail. Large-scale artwork often forces the viewer back to see it all and may diminish the human scale completely. My artwork pulls the viewer in and speaks in a personal tone creating the first part of an intimate conversation. The thin, frail line and size speak to its delicate nature. Yet, though in each dainty drawing there is romanticism, there is raw sexuality and fetishism as well. Each piece is a love letter, sometimes sweet and sometimes sexual, written on a small piece of paper, to be coveted.
