The mixed media art and text I create reflects the way I see the world; a complex, ever changing combination of textures, colors, moments, and stories, imbued with spirit, wonder, and discovery. Art is a dialogue between the viewer and the work, and I can’t always say whether the text or the design comes first for me, as they are inextricably linked, but thinking of ideas that encompass both is the most challenging part. From that, I build my work with transparent panels of complex photographic images placed on my encaustic or collaged backgrounds and then taking that imagery and layering it with my hand lettering creating a meaningful combination of spirit and vision filled with questions……. or perhaps answers.
