Artist Statement
I am moved by anonymous, ordinary moments and all that is contained behind what I am seeing. I am drawn to into the silent space where my imagination automatically creates a narrative. Everywhere I look and everyone I meet, I know it’s just the tip of the iceberg.
The ideas for my work originate in those moments and my focus is to communicate the sense of longing, curiosity and possibility that arise as I follow these threads of information and imagination.
I find starting points in postcards, old photos, other source materials. I thrive on the process of problem solving as I build with shapes and color. The painting begins to tell me its own story. My job is to see, listen and follow where that story leads.
My work usually contains strange buildings, vehicles and people or animals with ambiguous expressions.The paintings also hold deep emotion and honesty, which emerges naturally in the process of working. I invite the viewer to enter this mysterious, yet familiar, space and connect to their own story.
