Artist Statement
My paintings are abstract landscapes that intend to inspire the sense of awe that a hiker might experience at the pinnacle of a mountain peak. Awe and wonder are elements of art that first drew me to the painting practice. Though my work operates as poetry, attempting to express and visualize moments of beauty, I choose to compose my work with dirt, ash, and sand to evoke a sense of memory and place. Through the use of media sourced from land, my ‘terra paintings’ and ‘landscape mosaics’ engage formal dialogues of color and composition while addressing not only beauty but timely issues of social equity and climate justice.
