artist Statement

I view time as temporal, spatial, and ever changing as it marches on. My work deals with time as a personal, material, and social transformation.

I use the concept of time in my work through the use of figurative narrative, namely a warrior figure on a pilgrimage along a continuum. I also use time through printmaking, mixed media collage, and working in a series.

The materials I use vary along a continuous, ever changing narrative. The way in which I use them also follows an exploration mirroring the larger theme in my work of transformation along a continuum. I use a lot of different materials and surfaces, ranging from traditional to non traditional.

my muse

The Warrior Figure came to me after years of trying to fit in to what I believed I “should” be as an artist. I painted happy, beautiful landscapes, and while I enjoyed the work, it was safe. It wasn’t fully expressive of who I was or what I thought.

She came to me slowly, and then all at once, and she has been present in my work in various ways that sometimes I don’t expect. She’s my champion, my advisor, my constant companion.
