artist's statement
"I paint the natural world around me in an effort to acknowledge the small things in life that make up ʻthe big pictureʼ. I choose to paint ever present subjects and experiences that are often considered unremarkable and use tools and techniques that do not allow precise or overly predictable markings. My current work combines various materials such as wax, ink, charcoal, pastel, resin and acrylic paint on canvas or birch in various ways to create rich, multi-layered abstracted images of nature.”
