Artist Statement
I am intrigued with the underlying energy that connects all of nature. My fascination with how this energy moves has made me understand the things I hold onto, and those I choose to let go of, define who I am as a person. This discernment is an important part of my process, which involves heavily layering the paintings surface to create a history that I am able to work back into. Recovered elements take on new meaning in their revised context. This additive and subtractive process continues as I make decisions regarding what I feel is necessary and what isn’t. In the end what is let go of defines the piece as much as what remains.
