Since that time, she has also been working in handmade paper and mixed media.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Above all things, her favorite studies in art come through Nature, watching how she orders herself and how she curves to the elements. This education is continuous, and never ending.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Fired copper is the signature of her work. This process literally arose out of the ashes of the Oakland fire of 1991, after her studio and home burned to the ground. While digging through the rubble, amid her tears and grief, she discovered beautiful burned rolls of copper that inspired a dramatic redirection to her artistry and artistic endeavors.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">&#8220;I have no idea what my work would look like today if this fire had not happened.
