ARTIST STATEMENT
"When are our lives not in transition? Our days are filled with changes, mysteries, thresholds, erasures, reconstructions, and transformations- some minor, some significant. I paint the internal landscapes of life's constant liminality. The process begins with free association writing, capturing immediate feelings and surroundings, vivid and blurry memories, dreams, and future ruminations. Each scribbling sets the stage for every piece, rebuilding words into their full expressions. Past, present, future, and the imagined then coalesce, morphing into the aliveness of each painting. The work is abstract, applying acrylic or oil on canvas, panel, and paper.
