Movement is the central theme in my paintings. I move mediums across the plane, engaging in acts of shifting, pivoting, going forth and back, repetition, and re-imagination.

This process reflects a simultaneous relationship between the materials and me. The resulting artwork is the rewarding product of this partnership. My subjects serve as references or representations of a memory, a place, a feeling, or, most often, nothing in particular.

My participation with nature both as an artist and as a human being defines my artistic practice.  Painting naturally reveals metaphors and awareness about my place and interactions with the world. Through my paintings, my hope is that viewers can find images or feelings with which they can connect. 

I primarily work in encaustic, printmaking, and painting on wood panels, canvas, or a variety of papers. I sketch, draw, and apply paint, wax, or other media to build layers, then move paint across the surface using a variety of tools. I simultaneously add and remove space, shapes, lines, or textures to achieve the composition.
