My work engages in dialogue between spirit an earthly reality.

​

Rooted in memories of and fleeting experiences in nature; steeped in reverence for the ancients and modernists, the work manifests.

​

The medium partakes in the visceral experience of existing. Nature, that so eloquently speaks of order and chaos, grit and reflection, luminosity and shade, flatness and depth, acts as metaphor of our own in existence within the construct.

​

Surface and mark-making unify abstraction with imagery. My respect and love for nature informs the work and strives for a “condition.” Critical to the process is a balance of control and gesture, allowing the ensuing dialogue to dictate direction, perhaps to the point of obliteration.  To celebrate the innocence of spirt and, oftentimes, repress expertise of craft is a balance worthy of pursuit.
