Artist Statement:
As an artist I am fascinated
with the basic scientific
principle that energy is
neither created nor destroyed.
Energy changes form from
potential energy to kinetic
energy and back. I explore
the threshold of change; when
potential energy becomes
kinetic energy. That energy
exists in the creative process
of art making as well as life.
That tension that makes us
hold our breaths in
anticipation and the release
into eventual movement is the
potential and kinetic energy
we encounter in everyday life.
My works strive to capture
these forms of energy that
exist in all of us. I use
multi-media including mirror,
wood, metal, stained glass,
and paper on top of silky oils
to achieve a sense of texture
and contrast that creates
tension. I also use shapes,
lines, and color vigorously
applied to achieve a sense of
movement and fluidity. If the
potential energy of my idea
can move someone to feel an
emotion then that is the
kinetic energy of life derived
from art. If a work can
convey that sense of energy to
the observer then the piece
has done its job.
