Artist Statement

I am informed by an internal radio tower that picks up signals of feelings of those around me — Longing and suffering, joy, desire, hope and the shifting of the tectonic plates of who we are and what we mean to each other.

I am inspired, also, by what I see and feel. In what grows, the sea, light and landscape. Immersion in distinct environments and wild, found pigments also influence my work.

Sometimes my paintings touch people in ways they hadn't known they were feeling. This makes the work feel irresistible. My process is one of listening, then laying out layers. The viewer sifts as she looks and makes her meaning. She hears herself think.
