Artist Statement:
My work is process-oriented,
engrossed in development of
stratum that succumb to
distress from digging,
scratching, melting, or
sanding. The content cycles
through decay, weathering,
restoration, and renewal. I
work physically, messily, in
multiples, in formats that are
very tiny to as large as my
space allows. Under paintings
are conditioned with textures
of reclaimed materials found
by happenstance or affinity –
beeswax, bones, tree sap, tar,
found objects, and gunk. I am
conscious of the ecologic
impact and
personal/environmental hazards
of my art making and attempt
to compensate by inclusion of
matter otherwise en route to
landfill. The middle earth of
the paintings contain true
earth pigments, self-mixed for
layered glazing to achieve
color depth, patinas, and a
history of my experience and
responses to the process. The
final composition attempts to
emulate the stirring and
astonishing imagery I find in
nature and my urban
environment. ...
