Artist Statement:

I work primarily with acrylic and latex paints, inks, papers and charcoal. My images contain many diverse layers of meaning from the universal to the specific and personal. My works are often abstract. I am frequently interested in pattern and/or creating a rich sensual surface by making layer upon layer of marks. There is often an unseen history within these layers as images are obscured and revealed. My work may give reference to my experience with nature and/or universal symbols. At times it speaks to issues of social justice, identity, revelation and connection.
