Artist Statement
I make paintings, works on paper, and site-specific works that
evoke places, moments, and consciousness. The paintings
are human-sized and invite the viewer to be in the painting as
opposed to looking at it. I am perpetually interested in the
experiential moment. My work explores the concept of what
remains visible of my process, and equally important, what no
longer remains.
Sisters is a body of work that responds to the power and the
expression of the female voice. The works are large-scale oilstick
paintings on paper that use a personal vocabulary of line,
gestural marks, color, and texture.
