Artist Statement:
My current work is heavily
layered and textured and
invites the viewer to engage
with it for its tactile as
well as its visual qualities.
Each piece is built up and
torn down by the application
of many layers of paint, gels,
and textural and collage
elements, then scraped,
sanded, and scrubbed, then
built up again, until a
surface is arrived at that
pleases me. It is at that
precise point that I may
decide to destroy the pleasing
surface and begin again. I
don’t want it to be too
beautiful. I want to take it
dangerously beyond repair,
work again toward perfection,
and then stop just in time....
