ARTIST STATEMENT
I paint to consider the juxtaposition of the forms, textures, and marks that come to the canvas intuitively. I am informed by my love of well worn textures, revealing the layers beneath. Each mark and technique guides me to the next on the canvas. I create my paintings through a process of scraping, washes, brush strokes and loose marks to build texture and depth. Allowing the expressive forms that emerge to be both accidental and purposeful.
My intention is to explore the tension between the muted colors, subtle textures and marks with that of the bold forms that conceal and in turn reveal nuances in my paintings.
