Projects: My current primary focus is a personal project titled 'Mnemosyne', an ongoing series inspired by Greek mythology, drawn from heavily (joyfully) researched primary sources, and named for Mnemosyne, the goddess of memory and mother of the muses. I have exhibited at conventions and in galleries for over a decade and a half, in the Showcase at IX from 2016-2019, and in the Main Show 2020-2021. My work has been published in Infected By Art volumes 5 through 9 and Spectrum 26 Chelsey (ASFA) award nominee, ARC Salon Finalist, and participant by invitation in the Beautiful Bizarre exhibitions "Ritual" in 2019, and "Midnight Garden" in 2020. I have background in book illustration, commercial client work, and extensive private commissions.
Location: Swannanoa, NC, USAA scene from the Russian fairy tale “Vasilisa the Beautiful,” in which the heroine escapes from the hag Baba Yaga, and lights her way through the forest with the glow from the empty eye sockets of a previous victim.
