Artist’s Statement:
My works are rooted in a blending of autobiographical and imaginative themes. I draw upon memories and visual images from my own life in order to invest my works with a sense of personal history. Using bright colors and a variety of media, I interpret familiar, "everyday" objects in a personal manner. Working on paper allows me to react in a direct, private way, much like the process of writing in a diary. I spontaneously juxtapose my images and patterns upon the visual space, using acrylic paint, pencil, crayon and collaged pieces of my own etchings or drawings. I enjoy layering, reworking my images and reassembling collage pieces to create a richly textured visual surface. Within this surface are the discovery, exploration and free association of images that comprise my artistic vision.
