Artist Statement
Over the past eight years, my artwork has taken the form of montage or mixed media and my focus has been on defining form and shape, often with a three-dimensional perspective that has depth, a strong sense of design and typically a black-and-white color palette. My work explores the juxtaposition of line and space that provides both internal and external boundaries creating a narrative image or design investigating negative and positive environments.
I am an intuitive artist utilizing my mood that day, facing the blank material, paper, wood or canvas and utilizing various images drawn either from my personal photography library or from magazines with subjects ranging from fashion to nature and from texts to shapes. Most recently, I have played with color on canvas, which is a huge departure from my more graphic work on cold or hot press paper on which my images are printed.
