Artist Statement – I seek to create imagined narratives that are created or inferred by the viewer. The images are created as mixed media and paper collages that include paint, encaustic, found objects, papers: found, created, painted, altered, and re-purposed. The narratives have a dream-like quality, a what-if thought pattern or a fictional memoir serves as a jumping off point or informs the creation of the pieces. The use of transfers in the works allow for the perception of time passing or passed. Layers of papers, paint and images lead the viewer to create or imagine a story, a mood and/or flavors.
