Artist Statement
I love spending time in nature, traveling and learning about other cultures. Always aware of color, pattern and texture, these life experiences are inspiration for my work. Very early in my exploration of encaustic (2013) I developed a signature method of applying minute droplets of medium to the surface of the painting. This technique creates a tactile texture that engages those who encounter it and makes my work instantly recognizable. Using this technique is an obsession that I’ve committed myself to investigating, making it my realm and exploring what I can do with it.
