Artist Statement
I do assemblages and mixed media paintings that play off and with each other. Energetic marks and paint texture combine with recycled quilt pieces, old tools, Grandma’s embroidered dish towels, tree branches and plumbing parts into 2-D and 3-D compositions with themes of time and loss, hope and the abyss. There is not a lot of distance between the past and the present here, new and old objects are organically combined with paint as if they all grew together. Recycled and reused, nothing is wasted.
