The conceptual basis of my work explores the complexities and vulnerabilities of the human mind.  I am particularly interested in the way the brain processes and stores information,
and how experience is translated and memory recalled. 

The work is informed by my research of inflicting effects upon memory and motor function
relevant to the aging adult.

The Imagery I create comes from an interest in combining female iconography with still life
painting. Each image is an amalgamation of various attractions such as Art History, my back
yard, the salad bar at Stop and Shop, retro kitsch, etc. The image usually starts with myself,
or with a friend, and then gets taken apart and reassembled with other things.

Although the results may seem surreal, I am more inspired by the Surrealists techniques of
tapping into the subconcious rather than by actual Surrealist painting. I have a desire to
personalize idealized notions of beauty and importance. To embellish icons with humor and a
little absurdity but also within those details to suggest a narrative that is mysterious and
atmospheric.

I am just an observer of what is already there, and often, what I see are things
that others ignore. In essence, I attempt to bring the viewer of my art into another
place, another time. My imagery evolves from a love of myth, magic, alchemy,
mathematical ideas, and the natural world.

In both the sculpture, prints and encaustic my choice of form, material, and their juxtaposition reflect a variety of premodern creation myth, the themes of death
and rebirth, and the notion of a nurturing presence that permeates all life. In a
visceral and often deeply emotional sense, I summon forth a world of possibilities occupying a place between imagination and reality, and the
viewer becomes an active participant in the act of creation.. In my prints, drawings, books, and encaustic painting series,

I strive to keep a two dimensional history of the physical activity and the feeling of the sculptures not necessarily a representation of the thing itself but the essence of the thing.

The manipulation of light is central to my work. I am interested in creating an ‘’architecture of light’’ which exists within and around the forms to both emulate their dream-like origins and imbue the structures with life.

At a time when we perceive ourselves as separate from “the natural”, it is my ambition to probe, articulate, and reclaim that sense of intimacy and wonder that must have been within our grasp in the premodern era.
