Artist Statement:
My paintings are abstractions of personal narratives. I set out to create emotionally immersive painting passages taking the viewer on a visual journey through my compositions. One example is how I contrast large graphic elements with small, detailed collage sections which can be discovered and explored over time.
Collaged images and found objects ground the work and further a connection to nature, our shared source. The occasional literal references like a clock, building or face adds touch points of shared realities bonding us together through universal themes.
