“ My painting process involves layers upon layers of applying paint.
Using various tools for adding texture and interest, I build up and tear down, dissolve through and scrape back, excavating and veiling to recreate a sense of the mysterious through many layers of media. The addition of mark-making and asemic writing also add to the history of surface. I work on cradled panels, paper and canvas. In this process,
I cherish the freedom I have found to ex- periment, express, and explore the world through my work.”
In the tradition of the Abstract Expression- ists, my work stems from a subconscious and intuitive process. Essential to the language of my painting is the layering of textures, marks, and color to create a history of sur- face. These surfaces contain the essence of special places and captured memories, both near and far. Travels to Italy and exposure
to the sensibility of the eroding nature of ancient architecture have influenced
my latest work.”
