Abstract: My art allows a space for the questions and struggles about my upbringing and the taboos embedded in it to be fully explicated. My memories, identity, views on the roles of women in American society, and religious upbringing come together in my work to create a space where the glittering, opulent, shiny, brightly colored, ornamented, and prohibited pieces of my past can triumph. My work combines the dualities inherent in being an artist operating between responsibilities to my family, church, husband, society, and artistic community.
