Artist Statement
As an artist, I seek to explore the less obvious narrative of personal, social, and universal presence. My work expresses transient moments abstracted, distilled, and translated for individual reflection. With my artwork, I offer an alternative perspective often not considered. Balanced on the cusp of figurative representation and gestural abstraction I provide an intuitive visual connection. Multidisciplinary practices of painting, drawing, sculpture, and photography allow exploration, scrutiny, and immersion into the immediacy of thought, place, and awareness. Through my artwork, I strive to invoke an internal response of inquisitiveness and realization. Using texture, layers, color, and composition I communicate with fluid movement and thoughtful details. I find working on large-scale surfaces both challenging and rewarding. Covering sizable areas with brush, palette knife, and unconventional objects, I build the structure of each piece. Often adding and removing layers creating texture as the narrative reveals itself. As the work is tweaked invention and intuition take hold. My process is in constant flux, evolving as life's journey twists, turns, and continues to inspire. way. She approaches the without sketching or using photographs letting the medium take her where it will, a colorful journey with no boundaries.
