Artist's statement
I believe that we experience the world through momentary glimpses.
In my work, I express this fragmentation through layers and sections. Layers are sometimes clear, other times obscured. Sections suggest multiple and simultaneous perspectives.
The brush technique I use balances control and openness. As I apply this brushwork to the surface, I play with the interaction of hard edges and boundaries and the flow of the ink. It is an intuitive response to my emotions in the moment. This working process satisfies my personal need for quiet and containment, while allowing for surprise, risk, and freedom.
All of my work is a way to recollect and respond to my life and honor the lives of others in celebration and with empathy.
