Artist's Statement
I have been creating art for as long as I can remember. It started with acrylic and watercolor, then moved to some sculptural work with clay. I eventually taught myself to sew and work with epoxy resin. Now I do most of my drawing digitally using Sketchbook. As well working with preserved bugs, flowers and bones.
With my digital work I draw to process my feelings and what is going on in my world. Sometimes that is working to express my trauma and to heal, sometimes it is associated with my spiritual practice, and sometimes I will sit down and just create all day to relax and calm my mind.
While my digital work normally helps me process my feelings. My work with preserved bugs, hand dried flowers from my spiritual practice and garden, and ethically sourced animal bones relaxes me and heals me. With these pieces I want the viewer to feel calm but also to see the beauty of life and death, that you cant have one without the other and it can still be beautiful.

About the branch
The Glendale Branch of the Salt Lake City Public Library system, designed by Architectural Nexus and opened in February of 2015, offers approximately 20,000 square feet of space, making it the largest City Library branch. The branch houses 40,000 circulating materials, public computers, a lounge area, a green screen room, and a grand piano donated through the Mundi Project.
The floor plan of the branch offers open views across the building while creating designated spaces for children's, teen, and adult Library collections. An enclosed activity room easily accommodates various Library programming, and a designated teen space offers a place for young adults to gather, study, and access Library resources and services.
Built with the Glendale neighborhood in mind, the building shape includes a curved form that reaches out and embraces the community while creating an outdoor plaza. Special colored concrete and landscaped designs represent the geographic area along the Jordan River, while the design scheme of interior signage incorporates colors and forms that represent the many ethnic backgrounds of Glendale neighborhood residents.
The branch is easily accessible to area students, being located just one block from Glendale Middle School, Mountain View Elementary School, and the Salt Lake City School District's Community Learning Center.
The diversity of building materials, finishes, and colors of the Glendale Branch reflect the diversity of the Glendale neighborhood, which is one of the most diverse communities in Salt Lake City.
