Statement
My paintings are about the rhythmic cycles of the natural world. Ideas of memory, fragility, and interconnectedness traverse my work. The imagery I use consists of glyphs, plants, animals, and figures that inhabit an atmospheric abstracted "landscape" often divided by simple geometric shapes.
Earthy colors, repeated patterns, and marks intermingle with hidden images to form layers of meaning. Rich textures, worked surfaces, and subtle light qualities come from intuitively working and reworking the surface. No preliminary sketches are made; every thought is worked out directly on the piece, forming a road map of the creative process.
