About The Artist
I am a painter and printmaker interested in history, humanity, and our impact on the natural world. The intersection of these themes appears in my work in different ways as I try to understand where we have been and where we are going. My recent work combines antique, abstract and representational elements, exploring the relationship between them. Adding layers of antique and vintage media sometimes changes the meaning of the piece and unexpected themes and stories emerge. When I use a fragment from a deteriorating book, I often look up a meaning of a word or translate a phrase. I learn something new or gain a new perspective - this process is always exciting and interesting. I’m interested in creating art that tells a story, is both peaceful and chaotic, and perhaps makes the viewer stop and think.
