Boy and Girl Together. 12X12. Mixed Media on a Wood Panel.
Artist's Statement
What occurs within us from moments of intimacy fascinates me. Because of that my work focuses on relationships and our environment. My hope is that through my artwork I can touch and connect with people’s memories, experiences and reflections on life’s relationships with a sense of awe and beauty. I find that by incorporating materials that are so familiar to our daily experiences such as papers, thread and wood my work creates a greater sense of intimacy. My work is also a production of play that happened to bring about something interesting. I stitch, sew, tear, glue, sand away, rip apart, paste back, paint under and over until I reach something that seems to come into its own. Its process that energizes me because of the emotional connections I am able to share with others.
