ARTIST STATEMENT

In my latest collection titled Cool Perennials, I use mixed media (drawing, paint and transparent beeswax) on panel to emphasize color and movement in layered, shape-oriented compositions. I am energized by bright colors and organic shapes that appear to grow, converge, connect, or float in space. I like my work to hover between the abstract and the representational, the natural, and the artificial.
