Artist Statement:
I relate to my surroundings
through a seamless connection
between visual and tactile
processing of colors and
textures. I explore this
connection through painting,
photography and encaustic each
one having characteristics
which appeal to me. My love of
these various media has
prompted me to combine them,
creating an intriguing
interplay between the textures
revealed through photographic
processes and those created by
the brush and with wax media.
Textures in nature inspire me
to take a photograph and bring
paint to the canvas. For me,
organic textures describe
life’s struggles and triumphs.
I am interested in the way
life perpetuates itself, how
it adapts, and the subtle
manner in which it moves
beyond that which tries to
retain it, especially those
constraints that are man-made.
Consider the way water carves
through the rocks or cracks a
wall, or a vine grows through
bricks. Such phenomena are
reminders of the power and
persistence of nature. I also
seek to find parallels in
nature. For example, I am
often struck by the
similarities between the
desert and the ocean: Ocotillo
cactus and coral have similar
shapes. Strange parallels
compel me to create new work.
