Artist Statement
My work is about the paint itself, and the play that happens when I create time and space for the unraveling of the logical, every day side of myself. These paintings are a record of my experiments with paint, in those unraveled moments. Immersed in color and experimentation, I enjoy juxtaposing different things, and everything is fair game –fabric, the seemingly wrong color and the wayward line.
