Artist Statement
The influence for my work stems from my interest in how the eye leads and is lead. Whether or not we are aware of it, much of our vision is completed through visualizing. Using the innate properties of my chosen materials within formalist painting concerns, I seek to exploit the visualizing aspect to allow the mark to be a marker. As the mark is “seen into” and “seen as” images emerge. Since these images are not planned, it allows a fluid interpretation giving rise to autonomy of meaning. This then re-emphasizes this process, creating an active circular visual dialogue.

Artist Statement
In this game of revealing and concealing, ribbons and swaths of fabric writhe, levitate, burn, and tear, suspending time in a free play of the imagination. I use the material seductiveness of paint to reference skin, webbed text, space, and the infinite entwining and enfolded nature of the labyrinthine world.
Despite their melancholy wretchedness, these paintings are set aglow, ecstatic with light, color, and movement.
