Artist Statement

​

My current artwork incorporates my investigations with my intuitive collage style, to create highly tactile dimensional pieces. I explore the aspects of what I call reactive structure: layering and responding to visual elements during the art making process. The layers are manipulated utilizing drawn, painted, stitched, or attached techniques until they are an embodiment of a theme. I collect images, symbols, found objects, and fibers with interest in their shape, texture, color as well as any implied meaning they may invoke. I explore, through art, the themes of: cycles of life, an impression of an observation, energy systems, and elements of the earth. My goal is to create art objects that project a contemplative feeling with an underlying connection to the natural world. My intention with my art is to quietly invite the viewer to consider.
