Artist Statement
I am drawn to contrasting colors, interesting designs on papers that I create or find, unusual textures and am curious and inspired to try new techniques, composition, and color combinations.
Each piece begins with papers and colors that attract my attention and experimenting with shapes and layout. I set it aside for a brief period, returning with a refreshed perspective and then build a story. The story can evolve in surprising directions, and very seldom has a predetermined ending. Asking the question, ‘what will happen if?’ always leads me to surprising results.
