The circle is a universal symbol with extensive meanings, enigmatic in that it has no beginning, middle or end. It incorporates movement and symbolizes the cycle of time and is an integral part of nature. These paintings slyly reference barrel cactus, cul de sacs, round sewage covers, breeze blocks, planets, the moon and the ever present sun that are all seen on her daily walks

The constraint of using salvaged canvases also reference the ongoing desert history of reusing and repurposing materials. From Noah Purifoy’s elegant and raw installations to numerous weekend artists hoarding of found objects the dry environment and large spaces encourages picking up discarded metal, wood, and other materials and using them as art pieces or ending up in a pile in the back yard
