Infectious Myth involves the creation of four mythical archetypes symbolizing transitional stages in the female life cycle. The androgynous innocence of youth, the first blood of puberty, the power of fertility and the final culminating source of wisdom are symbolic of the physiological phases that occur within the life of a woman. The process is, among other things, a cathartic response to the lack of unified myth and ritual in our young American culture. This project has been supported in part by a grant from Hungry's Gallery in Houston, TX and through a grant from the Barabara Deming Memorial Fund.

The Skin History Series investigates the idea of human skin as a map of personal individual history. Our skin is a historic "imprint" – unique and embedded with experiential information.We are all "marked" like a canvas. Within the body of my work, however, biology is not everything. There is an underlying presence of struggle and submission, evidence of a complex life. Existence as a woman is, after all, not a simple fairytale.
