About
All living things seem to have a “secret place”; where we wish to be known, and yet can never fully know one another. I am fascinated both by the revelation of something of these secrets where they seem to be neglected, and also by the perhaps contradictory need to protect those secrets.
Out of my interest in hiddenness, my imager
All living things seem to have a “secret place”; where we wish to be known, and yet can never fully know one another. I am fascinated both by the revelation of something of these secrets where they seem to be neglected, and also by the perhaps contradictory need to protect those secrets.
Out of my interest in hiddenness, my imagery often focuses on the humble, the neglected, the overlooked. Cracks in the sidewalk, ruptures in the rock, darkened windows, naked trees, back alleys; all hold secrets revealing deeper patterns.
My recent work focuses on light and shadows, patterns created by trees, rocks and other natural forms. I still seek to find beauty in often humble, overlooked, ordinary places and moments. Leaning into my love of pattern, and the interplay of light had shadows, my work engages with beauty I experience in the ordinary.
My approach to painting is both layered and graphic. Using thin layer upon layer of paint or collage, adding, scraping away or peeling back, revealing elements and alternately hiding, functions as a visual correlation to my thematic concerns.
