ARTIST STATEMENT

While wandering riverbanks, coastlines, hillsides and rain forests – I’ve collected visual sources to result in artwork that is anchored in natural forms, either explicitly in landscape or subtly in abstraction and pattern. Along the way, I also photograph new and old and friends that sometimes become references for portrait paintings. As my work alternates between realism, design, illustration and pattern, the medium changes from project to project to include encaustic or acrylic painting, drawing, murals, photography, video and installation.
