Artist Statement:
I find that I have an
affection for the simple
as-isness of things. The white
curve of a bone, the negative
space created by the bend of a
flower, the impression of a
printing plate on white paper
all capture my attention.
Noticing these ordinary
objects as particular reveals
their unique presence and
makes the mind more receptive
to beauty. Beauty, to me, is
when the mind reaches out to
an object and returns
nourished. Creating art is my
attempt to honor and share
this experience.
I am drawn to non-objective
abstraction because it tends
to strip away the layers of
meaning in which our everyday
lives are embedded.
Non-objective images emphasize
a space that exists before
labeling, before thinking.
Unobstructed by familiar
icons, a bodily felt dialogue
between the viewer and the
work of art then might arise
more easily.
I am intrigued with how light

invisible at the same time.

own distinctive work, but they
