statement

I am intrigued with the underlying energy that connects all of nature.
My fascination with how this energy moves has made me understand the
things I hold onto, and those I choose to let go of, define who I am as a person.
This discernment is an important part of my process, which involves heavily
layering the paintings surface to create a history that I am able to work back into.
Recovered elements take on new meaning in their revised context.
This additive and subtractive process continues as I make decisions
regarding what I feel is necessary and what isn't. In the end what is let
go of defines the piece as much as what remains.
