Artist Statement: 

I am intrigued by the phenomenon of vanishing cultures, ancient architecture, marks of graffiti, light and space.  I create pattern, linear designs, shapes and forms into my own visual language, which is intuitively based.  I use what I refer to as “visual symbols”, sometimes literal, yet mystical.  I often write on the surfaces of my work and, by layering the paint, I can disguise any imagery altogether.  I make surfaces that resemble weathered walls, frescos, cracked plaster or cement, and the reaction of time on paint.  I view my work with a continual sense of discovery and enjoy the complexities of interpreting that sense.
