STATEMENT
I make art that gives viewers an experience for looking.
I make art that gives viewers an experience for looking.
Primary Research
Process and material exploration that merges traditional and historical techniques of art-making with contemporary forms of technology.
Influences
Growing up watching my father drafting architectural plans for his construction business, building and marking-making became embedded in my psyche. A respect and joy of the natural world influences my journey that includes delightful memories of a maternal grandmother whose textile arts were rivaled only by her green thumb and ability to make music.
Artist Statement
Influenced by the textiles indigenous to the southeast, my paintings embark on a vibrant journey through color, texture, and pattern, creating a visual feast. With a deep interest in materiality and a personal connection to the natural world, my work draws inspiration from elements that reflect the passage of time and the marks of aging.
Guided by both the macro and micro aspects of nature, I explore the manipulation of color, texture, and substance to achieve striking and seductive visual outcomes. My focus on surface and meticulous foundational layers enhances the artwork's appearance, inviting viewers to engage in closer observation. I approach art-making intuitively, viewing it as a process of excavation—there is no map or predetermined endpoint, only a sense that something meaningful awaits discovery.
