I am an expressionist artist driven by a desire to uncover and communicate the hidden human spirit. Working across painting, sculpture, and immersive paintings, my practice explores perception, memory, vulnerability, and transformation, creating dreamlike experiences that guide the viewer from the mundane to the metaphysical. The immersive works are created in collaboration with my husband, musician Mark Isham, extending the emotional and psychological dimensions of my visual practice through sound and animation. 

I contrast abstract and figurative forms—frequently centering around the female figure—to explore the tension between the physical and emotional worlds we inhabit. Dynamic, swirling abstract gestures move in dialogue with linear, figurative portrayals of women, creating psychic spaces that invite the viewer into states of reflection and emotional encounter. Through this interplay, I seek to honor life while examining transformation, identity, and the shifting roles we each inhabit. 

Painting is my anchor because it makes me feel alive. Working with crayon, graphite, charcoal, and pigment connects me not only to centuries of artists before me, but to something deeply physical and grounded in the present moment. The mixing of oils and acrylics, the weight and resistance of each brush and knife, the way pigments shift and settle across the canvas—these materials are sensual, carry distinct personalities, and humbly respond to my presence. In painting, I find both resistance and release: a medium that holds memory, creates nuance, and summons emotion.

At its core, my practice is deeply personal. I am drawn to the tension between the tangible and the intangible, translating inner emotional states into visible form. Creating, for me, is a continual search for greater meaning. I believe transformation not only shapes our past experiences, but more importantly how we imagine the future—making it both urgent and inevitable.
