Artist Statement:
I am interested in the process
of growth, transformation, and
deterioration, so much of my
work looks at the structure of
living organisms using natural
surfaces and materials. I
paint images of insects, skin,
fossils and other natural
surfaces using beeswax,
sediment, ashes, acrylic and
raw pigments.
As a painter, I incorporate
the passage of time into my
work, and each layer documents
a session spent with the work.
The action of layering
sediments and pigments is
similar to natural formations
and geologic structures slowly
formed over time. In this way,
life becomes a part of the
work, and time spent with the
work is a way to explore my
own fascination with nature
and other living organisms.
