About My Art
Artist Statement
My work is an energetic response to my surroundings, experiences, and internal emotions. I work intuitively, following my natural instincts in order to create something that is comprised of many small moments of discovery. I often start with a basic idea or guideline: a color palette, a technique to explore, a certain way of making marks. This serves as an entry point, a way to get into the process and access my creative energy.
As the seasons and phases of my life shift, the colors and techniques I use change as well. The constant that remains is the excitement I experience when I discover and study the smallest details. In life, these details might be the pattern on a moth’s wing or the way the ocean has worn the surface of a rock. In my art, they emerge as the texture created by applying gesso in a certain way or the unexpected vibration a color combination creates.
It’s these moments that inspire me to keep moving forward, to keep making art, and to keep exploring new ideas.
I often think about my work in individual words, or lists of words, rather than full sentences. These words serve as entry points, without giving away too much. It's important to me that people have their own unique reactions to my art, that are separate from my intentions. Here’s a little list of some words that currently resonate with me:
