In a culture saturated with consumerism, dependency on electronics, fluid borders & homelands, and political turmoil, I am drawn to creating images that define a world rooted in landscape and humanity. Additionally my work expresses a continual effort to blur the boundaries between abstraction, representation, design, drawing, painting, photography, traditional and new media.
Painting figures in landscapes I reference romantic art history while offering an alternative contemporary feminist gaze. Strokes of paint and color relationships express the tension between control and spontaneity reflecting the symphonic chaos we negotiate daily; employing a variety of brush works from invisible to energetic strokes I explore the symbiosis between representation and several painting streams.
