Inspired by a Renoir portrait of a woman in wide brimmed hat at the Barnes Collection.

Artist Statement
I create textured and dimensional work that I intricately hand cut and assemble from wood, aluminum, and copper then finishing with colored gesso and modeling paste to bring the surface of the work into conversation with its maze-like depth. Recently I decided to incorporate trompe l'oeil painting in some of my works to fool the viewer as to what is real and what is painted. Visual mystery is also created by hiding sections of the work behind textured geometric pieces or painted fabric resulting in a lively interplay between perception and deception. In addition to in my new Zen series I am incorporating mythical Asian landscapes within my abstract constructions. This visual complexity runs throughout my work, and I trust my intuition, life experiences, and the materials at hand to create works of spacial balance and harmony.
