Artist Statement
“Process saves us from the poverty of our intentions.”
-Elizabeth King, Sculptor
I create large scale abstract paintings that balance spontaneity, structure, and layered history. Working intuitively with acrylic, collage, and drawing media, I build richly textured surfaces and bold fields of color where gesture, erosion, and revision remain visible. Influenced by the landscapes of the Pacific Northwest and the Mojave Desert where I grew up, as well as years spent in organic farming, I explore themes of nature, memory, presence, and the unconscious – allowing meaning to emerge through process, material, and trust in the unknown.
