Artist Statement:
Art is an opportunity to
connect with my intuition. It
is where I give myself
permission to speak from the
source of where I am in that
moment. The process, not the
product, invites me over and
over again to discover that
planning ahead is a false
sense of control, and not as
fun when I arrive at the end.
Creating something gives me a
place to explore and surprise
myself.
Mediums are interchangeable to
me; as long as I can create a
way to involve color, texture,
form and layers. What I love
about chalk pastel and
encaustic painting is that it
takes time to see all that is
there. There is a translucent
quality when colors come
through. A deeper layer can
peek through barely being
detected while directly or
indirectly effecting the
proceeding layers. The layers
in the encaustic pieces push
the illusion of depth even
more by suspending and
obscurng the colors,
containing them behind a veil
of wax.
