Statement
My work is experimental and process orientated. It explores themes of memory, impermanence, and the relationship between opposites: order versus chaos, structure versus gesture, and line versus form.
I create mixed media paintings and monotypes using acrylics, oils, pastels, inks, collage and various drawing items. I try to develop levels of meaning by building and/or removing layers of paint, ink, paper and other materials. Each piece has its own history, which is partially revealed through various layers. They become a personal language of animated marks. They are images and marks contained in layers of space and time.
