Artist Statement
My encaustics begin with layers of texture and color, embedded drawings, scraps of watercolor-stained paper, unpremeditated marks. I search for random forms of color and line, turn it sideways or upside down, make more marks. These become a jumping off point as I discover more intricate forms, which themselves are alternately created and destroyed – sometimes several times over – by a frenzied process using any medium or material at hand.
