Looking at the world as a whole, I see systems working together, materials that don’t belong together somehow connecting. I see beauty in blending and placing objects in a setting where they react to each other. I create mixed-media paintings and sculptures. Materials deeply affect my work, sometimes evoking a memory or a physical feeling. I will wrap yarn around tape, glob on paint to twigs of a tree, glue on colorful fabric and cover everything in glitter. The work becomes colorful, textural, and lands between representation and abstraction. My process is playful and curious, bringing magically unexpected outcomes. As with systems, my work is about throwing objects around, putting items together that speak to and work with one another. I like artwork to be mysterious, not to give you all the answers, to make you think. I strive to create a piece that connects and provides the viewer with an emotional response.
