I draw inspiration from various sources - nature and organic forms converge with concepts of community, communication and connectivity. In my work, I address these elements by a reliance on intuitive and deliberate mark making combined with subtractive and additive methods of construction.
 
Subtle gradations of graphite and colored pencil evidence the development of form while serving as markers of time in my drawings. My encaustic paintings echo these qualities while employing the subtractive process of scraping, creating subtle dialogues within the layered compositions.
 
In this work, consideration is given to line and form through the use of repetition. This emphasis enforces the communal relationships hinted at by the “dialogues” within the layered compositions of my paintings and the “time markers” of my drawings.
