Introduction	As a fine artist I create conceptual installations and mixed media pieces using outdoor snapshots or vintage family photos and domestic paraphernalia such as diapers, shower curtains, and bathmats. I paint when I can -- non-representational work of a contemplative nature. As an independent curator I have recently curated four shows, "Day of the Dead Planet," "Bringing the Past to Light: New Art from Old Images," "Estate of Mind" and "Intimate Geography." I enjoy working on projects with the EcoArt group of Southern California Women's Caucus for Art and as a board member of the Arroyo Arts Collective. In my academic life I am an adjunct professor at Glendale College, Pasadena City College, and the Los Angeles Academy of Figurative Art, where I teach art history, contemporary art and critical theory.
