CARDBOARD CONSTRUCTS:

By using cardboard, recycled paint and found objects, I blend industrial materials with artistic expression. While balancing chaos and order, I hope to suggest a narrative without definitive boundaries—allowing the viewer  to contribute to the story and hopefully enjoy exploring the different parts and how they interact with each other.

BLOOM:

In my artistic journey, gardening has become more than a hobby—it's a source of inspiration and a reflection of my creative process. My series, BLOOM, is an exploration of how I perceive flowers, capturing not their literal existence, but the essence they evoke within me. 

About my art:

Subjects of my paintings, sculptures and prints vary depending on ideas that arise. Each day working in my studio I start not knowing what image will emerge. I allow myself the freedom of indecisions, improvisations, and impulsiveness in my work, and that leads to exciting discoveries.  I use multiple mediums including, but not limited to, encaustic, acrylic, oil and cold wax, mixed media and collage. I’m impatient by nature, my process is intuitive, I most enjoy the journey of creating, figuring out what works; what to keep, and what to abandon, until the piece works for me. I have no compulsion to save every work I do. Many become the layered history for a new piece.

Creating art energizes me, it’s a place where time is altered, where all my feelings and emotions appear at some time or another; pleased, tired, upbeat, excited, harried, surprised, and hopefully at some point, satisfied.
