As an artist working in 3D mixed media, environment and location are especially integral elements in how the work is perceived. The work can seem to take on various personas, emotions and inferences depending not only on its surrounds but on the viewer's history, mood and experiences, as well.

With three solo exhibitions cancelled due to the Pandemic, physically installing the work, seeing its relationship to a space and viewers could not be realized. It is with this challenge that The Visitation Project was been realized.

One night while at my son and daughter in law's home, in the midst of renovations, I took a pic of their dining room, looking surreal with peeled wallpaper beautifully hanging off the walls and piled on the floor. That photo became the first "visitation" my work would make, via photoshop into a now digital space. I was especially intrigued with the contrasts of suburban life, the detritus and my piece "Looming" hanging where a chandelier will take it's place IRL.

It’s here that I imagined acquiring images of other spaces to photoshop my work into. I invited artist friends and family, to send images of a space, any space, it could be mundane or spectacular, indoors or out, industrial or natural to be part of this project. From here I digitally manipulated the jpegs into unique works, crediting the artists for their contributions.
