These three sculptures are the first in a series of twenty inspired by the ancient Celtic alphabet known as the Ogham. The sculptures are my visions of imaginary landscapes; it's as though we could find the letters and symbols of this alphabet growing as the roots of trees. Each letter represents a different tree. Here we see "L" for the Rowan tree, "H" for the Hawthorn and "I" for the Yew.

Each tree has symbolic meaning in magic, medicine and ancient lore. There are semi-precious stones and other found objects worked into each sculpture which express the properties and qualities of the trees they represent .

As a natural collector I gather objects from all landscapes and settings. This grouping is made from salvaged tree limbs. The center piece is an illuminated latex impression of a sapling tree.

I made a series of sculptures with fabric backgrounds in 1999 called "First Pull". This sculpture is the positive and negative impressions of cottonwood tree bark with its leaf pattern in the fabric behind. This body of work was exhibited at Xavier University in 1999 as part of a Three Woman Show with M. Katherine Uetz and Ann Simmons-Myer.

Other pieces in my "Imagined Landscapes Series" include natural found objects such as stones, shells and an elk jaw bone in painted resin.
