Her early digital works were included in the Museum of Modern Art New York’s 1999 “Museum as Muse” online exhibition, the Las Vegas Truly Virtual Art Museum “The Petersburg Biennale of Computer Graphics” in St. Petersburg, Russia and many other exhibitions.

Artist Statement of Work

Tell us about your work (style, approach, philosophy, subject and/or theme):

My works are digital images I develop from photographs I take in scenic areas of Texas. The works are designed to evoke positive emotions and feelings of happiness, hope, and tranquility in the viewers through the elements of nature. I capture scenes that showcase the splendor of nature and I digitally enhance the images to heighten the overall sense of calm and tranquility in the artwork, inviting viewers to escape the hustle and bustle of their daily lives and find solace. Beyond the aesthetic appeal, my work also seeks to highlight the benefits of connecting with nature. By portraying the natural world in a compelling and inviting manner, I hope to encourage viewers to appreciate and value the environment.
