Artist’s Statement

My current developing body of work revolves around the natural world as it meets and intermingles with the urban environment of Los Angeles. Influenced by the Finish Fetish school, my paintings straddle the boundary between painting and sculpture. My method is reductive and additive, using layers of a single ink on watercolor paper that is sprayed with water. This process is applied repetitively until the final atmospheric result is achieved giving a blurred, dreamlike quality. The works are then further enhanced by then being placed in deep frames bordered with brightly colored acrylic, resulting in pieces that have a changing mood and character based on the refraction of light.
