The inspiration for my artwork is to assure a record is kept before it is too late. Vandals, Time and Mother Nature have damaged them in the past and it continues today at an even more alarming rate. The traces still left today of these early human beings and the love of art so deeply imbedded in their spirit should be preserved. Examples exist worldwide where artists created images of animals, humans and spirits long before recorded history began. The exact meanings of these images have been lost in the mists of by-gone days. We can only try to interpret these rock art symbols. Perhaps we must each define our own meanings to our ancestor's art? I try to reproduce the subtle shades the eons have added to the works created by ancient artists. A realistic rock-like foundation is one major assets of my work. After building up, texturing and sculpting a strong acrylic-latex layer on artist board, the final product has an almost three dimensional quality.

While part of my ancestry is primarily Anglo-European which can be traced back to the Boston Tea Party, I am very proud of the Native American segment of my bloodline. As a fifth generation grand-daughter of Quanah Parker, the great Comanche leader, it is that part of my heritage which speaks to me the strongest. These images are created to honor all the ancient artists of the world but are not Native American Indian products.
