I’m drawn to and inspired by unlikely and often uncomfortable situations: the natural world and the unnatural; shapes that are clumsy and obvious with those that are controlled or ethereal; color that is bland or saccharine, alongside bitter or ominous; lines that are obtuse and meandering with those that are quick, humorous, and energetic; order and welter; discord and harmony.
Complex, carefully built compositions often revel simply in the aforementioned forms and content, and inspiration is almost always gleaned in part from nature, with its persistence and healing qualities. Printmaking, collage, and paint all have the physical ability to layer, obscure, build, and repeat. The layering and repetition of images speak to the history and resurgence of emotions, times and events.
