Artist Statement
In my work, I use careful observation and meticulous creation to explore the world around me and the world within my head. My recent work falls into three categories:
My process often starts with looking inward at my memories and dreams, and pulling moments from them. I use different mediums like watercolor, photography, and collage to piece fragments of memories from my childhood together.
Careful observation of nature is extremely important to my art making. I often work in series or multiple panels in order to explore a subject in depth.
Through their interaction with light, both textures and shadows play a major role in defining depth. Sculpture allows me to use dimensional textures to create shadows, while with drawing and painting I create the illusion of light and texture.
