ARTIST'S STATEMENT
"Spirit and intuition guide while my hands mindfully follow."
Mixed-media as an approach to the creative process recognizes the many dimensions that shape my sense of personal creative growth. It articulates a procedure that is equally additive and subtractive as it reaches for completion along with authenticity. The force and beauty of its process compels me. I utilize acrylic paint along with subsequent layers of hand-made papers, textured reliefs, altered mass-media, textiles and decayed construction site debris.
