Artist Statement
"My fascination with texture has led me to explore on an endless range of surfaces from canvas and thread to wood and metal; and to experiment with found materials like twigs, nails and even roofing paper. I enjoy the challenge of using materials originally meant for something else.
My artwork involves shapes, lines, patterns, movements, flowers and motifs that derive from influences such as textiles and nature. A subtle line or shape can determine the direction a piece will take. Even if I have a sketch, once I start working, it often changes completely.
Many of my canvases are created in a modular fashion, beginning with small squares that may be expanded or combined with others, or stand on their own. Every individual square embodies its own unique and distinctive story. My goal is to take the viewer on a special journey every time they look at my art. If each person walks away with a unique impression and experience from viewing my work, then my mission has been accomplished."
