ARTIST’S STATEMENT___________________________________________
“Painting is a powerful and eloquent visual language capable of expressing things not easily communicable in
any other way. The arrangement of elements (line, mark, shape, texture, and color) in a shared space
establishes a series of relationships that stand as metaphors for realities that are emotive and transcendental.”
I think that my background as a ceramic artist has influenced my approach to painting. Being familiar with
building on a surface and making marks, finds its way into my working with paints, inks, and collage materials.
Artists that, to me, capture the essence of spontaneity have influenced me.
I strive to bring order to a chaotic beginning of a painting using anything that is available to create a texture,
make a mark, reflect the light, distress the surface, etc. I tend to identify as much with the process of making
art as well as the final result. I prefer to take more risks and discover more possibilities.
