I am guided by my intuition…
My work is experiential and is influenced by the inherent beauty of organic shapes, patterns, and details I observe in nature and architectural forms.
Memory is a central theme. It creates a dialogue with the viewer discovering meaning in my work. Embedded in each composition are images, remnants of found papers, and other materials that reflect a time, place or person.
Working with layers I apply an encaustic wax-based medium to a mixed media and collage composition. This allows me the freedom to spontaneously arrange and rearrange materials while also working to apply color.
Photography is another art form that inspires my work. I am interested in how light captures a moment in time or how it frames an object. I gravitate towards the details found in nature and the geometrical forms found in architecture. These extremes-one naturally evolving and the other man-made, coexist with one another.
