Artist's Statement:
I have moved from painting on canvas to glass and metal. This has led me to artist’s books and 3-D collaborations with my husband, sculptor Robert Roesch. I work in the Symbolist Tradition using dream landscapes, myths and high heel shoe imagery. Recent work explores Mirror Images, Twins, Disguise, and Deception.
