Through bold color, mixed-media and abstraction, I explore visual phenomena, texture, and narrative.
Recent paintings have focused on dramatic light, shadow and reflection. Collage often informs my paintings and allows unexpected elements to coexist.
Color is foundational to painting. I enjoy color for the sake of color and like to explore its many rich interactions across mediums.
Collage celebrates the element of surprise. Working from carefully selected materials, it is intuitive, liberating and instructive.
Fabrics appeal to my tactile sensibilities and art quilts allow for literal layering, combining materials and working from a palette of threads and fibers.
Occasionally ideas are best explored in unconventional ways. These projects allow for invention and unbridled creativity.
