About the Artist

My paintings are inspired by a spark, something that wows me or quietly invites me to linger.
Typically my spark is an area of contrast, and aren't we all innately attracted to some degree of contrast? I avoid conflict and tension in life but have learned that there is a delicious tension, an inherent beauty and balance to including both within my work. I love capturing what transports me to being right there, to share and return to spectacular moments. I am inspired by the community here, artists, swimmers, groups who ebb and flow.

My go to medium is oil paint, it is fairly forgiving and allows variations in technique. At times I take the opportunity to explore a motif in fiber, glass or printmaking. I find moving an image through a variety of media informs my painting practice, which keeps me exploring and re-presenting my spaces, both inner and physical.
