Artist Statement
When I paint, I intuitively make marks and choose colors. I keep turning the canvas and respond to parts of the painting that interest me and call my attention. In this way I keep interacting with the painting, until it feels complete and finished.  It’s an organic process. 
Exploring and experimenting are at the heart of my artistic practice. It keeps my painting practice fresh and exciting. That is how I grow and learn.
I experiment with all kinds of painting media, from acrylic, watercolor, ink and oil to environmentally friendly paints like casein paint and making my own natural dyes from plants and flowers. 

I play around with lots of different techniques to create appealing marks, rhythm and patterns. I use a variety of materials to create texture- from plaster to tissue paper, fabric and self-made paper from recycled math worksheets my kids bring home from school. 

I hope my paintings will pull people out of their head, and into a space of feeling and imagination. Even if just for a moment…people might take notice of how the painting makes them feel and what they see.
