I paint because I am a constant communicator and, for me, a visual vocabulary provides a highly fluid, accessible, and expressive way to tell stories. My most recent works, executed primarily in acrylics, often begin with a single visual “word”-– an image that evokes a moment or person in my life, a book that leaves a lasting impression, a found object that piques my curiosity. (I am especially drawn to the mysteries of abandoned and discarded objects.) From that beginning, I layer vibrant colors, bold lines, and often iconic images to fashion works that appear simple and balanced in tone and composition, but strive to articulate more complex and resonant stories beneath.
