Artist Statement:

 

Using words, patterns and images in painting, I explore questions about spirituality, culture, sensuality and community.

 

I paint patterns as a way of reflecting the patterns in our own lives.  We create patterns to decorate objects, gardens, fabrics, ourselves and just to create beauty.  Our societies, religions and cultures happen in patterns that give our lives meaning.  I use patterns in a painting to reinforce both the composition and the content.

 

The idea of figure and ground in my work talks about the connection of all things - the fact that we are not really separate from things, or each other.  Separation is a useful conceit in living, like using a line in painting.  It delineates the edges of things when like life there are no outlines.  I use a catalog of techniques that are about asserting the picture plane, and at the same time fabricating the illusion of space and objects.  The perception of which takes place only in our minds.
