Artist Statement:
Finding peace is a challenge when juggling life's responsibilities, distractions, and activities. I find respite in the brief and immediate swipe of color, the formation of a line or shape or form, and the intense focus of attention when looking and really seeing something that captures my interest. I work to balance the mood that color, line, or shape evokes with minute detail to reveal a story. My art echoes my desire for simplicity and peace, as well as a fascination with the details of the underlying story and meaning. I work in watercolor paints, pastel, and clay and sometimes incorporate printmaking techniques.
