Artist Statement

Art has always been a constant companion in my life. I aim for connection and emotional resonance through my art. I invent as I go, arranging interesting themes and shapes that initially pull me in many directions, then seeing where the piece leads. I usually don’t work from life or photos, instead each piece comes from my imagination. I work primarily with acrylics and my surface of choice is Ampersand Claybord™. These boards have a smooth, absorbent quality that allows for many layers and etching.
