ARTIST STATEMENT

My work utilizes shape, texture, depth and layering of various media to place the viewer in an imagined environment, which is often influenced by nature and bodies of water. Similar to an excavation, adding and removing sections of the painting reveals the assembled archives of an experience, time, and a sense of being. I explore my love for mark making by consistently working with different tools and materials to discover new, and often unexpected, results from “happy accidents” of experimentation.
