Our connection to the world around us, the places we seek as touchstones and remind us of the glory of untouched spaces, is an underlying element of her work. &nbsp;Throughout her career as illustrator and studio art teacher, whether working with handmade papers, found objects, paint, copper, or marbled paper, her works strives for a harmonious richness to express ssthe ever-changing nature of her personal landscape.</p></div></div></div>
