Artist Statement
I am interested in the ways in which the man-made and the natural both reject and inform each other. Natural textures, colors, and phenomena, stand out against the geometric and ... ordered urban space. As urban areas constantly develop, boundaries form where natural and human-made spaces come together. I am interested in this ever-changing delineation and the subtle moments of interaction between the two. Employing painting and collected natural- objects as materials for making, I bring viewers into a contemporary conversation that explores painting in the expanded field. Underlying themes within the work explore concepts of time, memory, perspective, space, and a personal sense of belonging.
