Artist Statement:

 

My artwork comes out of the many questions, stories, and experiences that I have collected so far in my travels, visits, and work, both at home and away from home. My paintings are made using beeswax, oil paint, graphite, and found materials. These materials include used maps, old books, letters, flyers, doodles, and various things I find on the ground or am given. These saved and rescued scraps are a tangible recollection of experience I have had, which build on each other to create an endless, constantly changing story.

 

My painting process involves many steps. I begin by layering beeswax and collage materials, creating a surface filled with semi-hidden stories and memories. Then, I use handmade transfer paper and my beloved sharp tool to draw lines. I cannot see these lines until I remove the transfer paper. After that, I work with what I have intuitively created by adding layers upon layers of wax, paper, and oil paint.
