My art is an act of excavation—unearthing buried narratives, repurposing relics, and rewriting the visual language of power. I work across painting, collage, illustration, and sculptural form to create layered compositions where myth, memory, and contemporary culture converge.

Much of my work gravitates toward reimagining women’s stories—those silenced, mythologized, or overlooked. I don’t set out with a manifesto, but again and again, the faces I’m drawn to, the fragments I choose, and the symbols I layer seem to reclaim a kind of presence. A forgotten portrait may become a heroine. A historical flourish may be reframed as a mark of resilience. These visual narratives emerge through tension: surface and depth, elegance and disruption, intuition and intention.

I’m driven by a deep and ongoing curiosity—about art, history, and the evolving relationship between material and meaning. My work moves fluidly between analog and digital processes, from hand-built collage and embedded sculptural elements to experimental layering techniques that invite translucency, texture, and time into the frame.

As an educator, I lead immersive workshops around the world, helping artists develop their own voice through process-driven, multi-modal exploration. With years of experience designing inclusive and dynamic learning environments, I’m passionate about nurturing creativity through both personal inquiry and technical skill.

I share this artistic life with my husband, assemblage artist Michael deMeng. While our voices are distinct, they are in conversation—his, a richly layered world of the beautifully bizarre; mine, rooted in symbolic portraiture and the reclamation of feminine narratives.

My work has been exhibited internationally and is held in private collections across Canada, the U.S., Europe, and Australia. Select commissions are available, and I continue to mentor artists of all levels through in-person and online programs. I’m currently expanding my practice into new formats and collaborative platforms that further explore the storytelling potential of mixed media.
