• Welcome to my Online Art Studio •
My work is inspired by a fascination with natural earthen materials and the geometry, fluidity, and pattern in topography and cartography. It is also influenced by accidental and imaginative textures and subtleties in the performance, color, and transience of light. My work is the product of an obsession with the curiously meticulous, endlessly detailed, exquisitely disciplined, and peculiarly beautiful. My pieces are one-of-a-kind, often times very time-intensive, labors of love. . . each communicating their own visual cadence and dimensional rhythm, and representing a different process and aesthetic.
I am incredibly energized and stimulated by the endless opportunities to invent and re-imagine ways to add dimension to, enliven, and energize flat surfaces, shift and flirt with light and shadow, and play with or map out materials into refreshing new relationships. The elements of my compositions are often derived from natural objects, either of the sea or the soil, and are then hand-manipulated, resurfaced, reshaped, and rearranged, in such a way as to become a new abstracted whole. So much of my work is driven by the process, which tends to be meditative and steady, rhythmic and repetitious. My process can best be described as transforming tiny dimensional units into larger ordered interconnected systems by the accumulation of slow patient gestures repeated over time.
From the seeds of inspiration, to the concept evolution, gathering of materials, and the building process, all the way to the delivery, and final installation, I am deeply devoted to what I do and feel so lucky and fulfilled to have the opportunity to share it with you and others who love and value art. Thank you for stopping by : )
