Artist Statement

Minimalist in concept, I am a visual artist informed by our living history exploring the human experience often exposing social undercurrents. My interdisciplinary studio practice comprises contemporary works on paper, paintings, photography and sculpture. Applying knowledge from my industrial design background, I pair relationships of metamorphic materials and transformative techniques letting them dictate the investigation including, graphite, charcoal, wax pastels, and flower petals.

Driven by discovery and process, I let the materials guide the outcome of my body of work. Not limiting myself to one medium, I select materials and methods that conceptually and physically respond to the ideas I am exploring guiding the outcome of my body of work. Choreographing relationships, conditions, and materials to engage and inform, similar to changes we experience in life, my work investigates themes of fragility, resilience, memory, and transition suggesting a bigger materiality lies underneath and within the surfaces.

My influences include painter Mark Rothko, "a painting is an expression of the artist's notion of realityââ'¬Ã'¦ not a rendering of a particular thing."
