Artist Statement
I am an acrylic and mixed media artist. I love the painting process from that first kernel of an idea to the finished piece. I use bold bright colors, loose brush strokes, and vivid patterns to bring attention to the interplay of shapes, color, and texture. I frequently add collage elements, mark making, drawing on the canvas, and sewing on the paintings.
I paint figures, landscapes, and abstracts. While my subject matter varies, my methods are consistent emphasizing an abstract approach striving to capture a feeling or emotion or create a story. I enjoy exploring the push and pull of paint and collage in my abstract works. I will create layers upon layers of paint and collage until the balance, movement, and complexity of the painting are achieved.
