Artist Statement
In this new body of work, I ground my work using silt, sand, dirt, soaked grasses, seaweed, rusty metal, buried material and ashes. Nature inspires me as I work with its raw power and fierce beauty to create an environment for my work. The constant changes of light and weather that engulf me in my shoreside studio have always been a part of my paintings, but now I am inviting nature to physically join in the dance.
