artist statement

The process of making these paintings is important in connection to the concepts behind them. I make them by using a combination of glazing, stamping, painting, drawing, handwriting, transferring, sanding, and layering. I use this process to come up with images and surfaces of color and shape. I use many different tools, sometimes unconventional, that I find can echo the shapes, colors, and subtleties that I see around me. I am interested in a play between structure and chaos, intuition and preparation, landscape and memory, texture and color, drawing and painting, and spontaneity and order. Through painting, I literally explore each of these ideas every day as I enter my studio.

In combination with an investigation of these concepts, my paintings have strong ties to events from my memory and daily life. They are an exploration of painting and experience surrounded by a community of ideas and people. My fascinations with the subtleties of my environment, along with the physicality of the paint, drive me to make paintings. Details of the landscapes I see, as well as intricacies of people and relationships, inform my paintings. Each painting is a personal communication of a place and a memory, veiled by the formal aspects of painting and process.
