My work in textiles and printmaking has focused mainly on explorations of many forms of
things that grow from the earth. I am fascinated by photosynthesis, and all forms of vegetation.
Nature and the cycles of the seasons are inspiring. What is seemingly very gentle can also be very
powerful. Blades of grass find their way to grow through pavement and taproots of trees grow
through crevasses in bedrock.
My process of painting is intuitive. I usually do not plan it out when I begin a work, but I do
have had an impulse of something very specific that I want to explore. My work comes from an
innate urge to create and communicate about our collective experience of life. My paintings are
inspired by nature and it’s incredible diversity. They are a reflection of and a reverie of the
stunning beauty I see in the natural world. Many of my paintings are about my fascination of trees,
and the characteristics they embody. In each work I explore my passion for color in composition.
The paintings are to be seen on an ongoing basis, because they are a dialogue with the observer.
I create my works in series. My most recent works are the “Seed” paintings on paper. To me
the seeds are a metaphor for potential of what something can and will become. The evolution my
work is a simplification and a synthesis. I am interested in the relationship of new patterns that
form in the interaction of layers painted one on top of the other.
