I am interested in color as a voice. I play with the way colors interact side by side, in subtle layers or in the dance that travels your eyes throughout the canvas. I am also involved in creating texture and textural planes through the use of textiles and threads. My canvases employ a great degree of under painting to achieve depth. The strokes and colors of each layer build to a unified whole. I prefer the freedom of working with abstract imagery so that color, texture, tension and interplay are appreciated in their purity. My paper work involves graphic marks that appear as numbers or letters but are meant to be appreciated for their graphic beauty rather than conveying a literal meaning. I am interested in breaking out of the picture plane and incorporating varied elements of mixed media to create spontaneity and playfulness.
