As an artist I function best through process. I believe that art mirrors life and the experiences that we as individuals encounter. My goal as both an individual and an artist is to visually represent the intersection of such occurrences by both visual specificity as well as esthetic experimentation.

I work in many mediums, which I combine most often into collage. Collage is my primary method of completion. The process of collage allows me to engage my work from multiple perspectives. Often time the conclusion of my work seems to will itself out in a manner different than my original intentions. The quality of development, through use of materials both found and constructed, and the formation process of collage is continually self-revealing.

As an artist I have no desire to stop experimenting with medium and applications but rather to continually be taught by such things. Whether I am moving forward in my art or returning to a previous piece to then dismantle and begin again I am always learning.

All my life I’ve drawn and painted and made things. I have a degree in art history, with studio classes in drawing, painting, sculpture, papermaking, weaving, basketry, and printmaking.

I have a great appreciation for architecture and love the simple iconic house form, which I’ve used extensively in recent years. Using that form as a metaphor, I can place it in jeopardy, set it in a power position, juxtapose it with another house to express personal relationships, and generally create a portrait of human feeling and interaction – or lack thereof. My response to what I view as our culture’s unfettered population growth and overbuilding is usually expressed by images of crowded cityscapes and suburban monotony.

The figurative work reflects my interpretation of personal interiors, or the idealistic view of interior’s possibilities.

Other repeated images – trees, chairs, fish and fools – are part of a vocabulary of personal symbols as well.

For many years I worked almost exclusively in oil pastels, but in the last few years have also been painting in acrylics and experimenting with mixed media. Currently, I’m enjoying exploring the intense working of surfaces – layering, scraping, incising.
