“The tidal waters are endlessly
fascinating to me. The water forever travels back and forth.
I love to float on these shimmering highways, surrendering to
their gentle current, letting them take me where they please.”

Artist’s
Statement:
I began to pursue my interest in painting
over 10 years ago as an antidote to the endless hours I spent
working in front of a computer screen as a graphic designer.
At that time, the computer mouse and keyboard were my main tools
of artistic expression and the only evidence of my work were
the ephemeral pixels on a screen. I was attracted to the physical
and direct nature of painting. The end product is something real,
tangible and lasting.
My recent work is an exploration of painting
with encaustic wax, one of the oldest forms of painting. The
technique allows me add and remove layers of color, build textures,
play with transparency and translucency, and experiment with
a variety of pigment types.
My hope is that these layers create
not only intriguing and beautiful surfaces, but also give emotional
life to the subjects, whether figures or structures, and hint
at the mystery inside.
