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

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.
