Artist’s Statement

Working in mixed media/collage intrigues me as I find the layering process very interesting and relates totally to the patterns of human kind. The process of adding and subtracting feels so simultaneous to our life, it’s about given and letting go.  Most of us have many layers that we may or may not choose to reveal to the world, just like the layers in my paintings uncover some, but not all.

The intent of my work is to encourage the viewer to find themselves in those images. This transition from the creator to the audience is what will keep me intrigued in my creative process.
