Artist statement
Working in layers, technically, intellectually, and spiritually I create images and sensations of movement, color, harmony, and joy. Much of my work is inspired by the various materials I have collected, as well as by traditional materials in my studio.
The creative process for me is intuitive – starting with materials and/or marks that I make. I like putting things together – sometimes pieces that seem not to go together. Combining things with a former life with new materials is a wonderful challenge.
My work encompasses a variety of mediums – oil, acrylic, water, prints, found papers and objects, image transfer, and encaustic. In each artwork, there may be one medium, two, or many media combined in one piece. Inspiration comes from the inside – based on my personal distillation of the external world.
