Guided by intuition and meditation, my process leads me through a series of similar steps that nevertheless result in idiosyncratic works.
I shift back and forth between loose mark-making and defined, controlled shapes and marks. I love this dichotomy. I build up the surface by hiding, partially exposing, or fully exposing each layer. In the end, each piece’s unique character and the hours I’ve worked on it are revealed.
My surfaces are multi-layered, allowing the viewer to understand the process of making. The materials I use are acrylic paint, collage and drawing materials, and old art work – anything I find that is of visual interest.
Creating art helps me make order of my life, my thoughts and emotions. I’m showing an unconscious world filled with color, line, pattern, and depth – all approaching meaning. Hopefully this creates untold stories for the viewer. Stories that inspire intrigue and a sense of calm or inspiration when viewing my work.
