This series was created with an interest in movement and the dance between light and shadows.
Form No. 1
Plaster, 2006
Exploring light and shadow across a form through curved surfaces draping over crisp lines.
Surrender
Oil on Canvas, 2020
A collaborative painting between mother and son. Learning to surrender to motherhood, to the whims of a child, and learning to see the beauty in the chaos.
Proof of Life
Oil on canvas, 2020
Even amidst the darkness, in the middle of frustration and despair, the creative process provides proof of life - something can be made, something can emerge, something can breakthrough.
When I was in school, if I made a mistake while writing, I was not content to simply cross it out. I figured out doing an aggressive crosshatch would not only cover, but seemingly erase the mistake, creating something new: a shape. Although it was no longer possible to see the letter or word, the shape become something of it's own, impossible to overlook, a landmark on the paper.
With the paint, scratching reveals what is beneath the surface, just like tension in life. Sometimes, you see something surprisingly vibrant and beautiful, other times, darkness. Regardless of our efforts to smooth over the stresses of life, they indelibly mark us and give us form, our stories - life and texture.
Amidst the stresses, amidst the darkness, every mistake or moment of despair we so desperately try to cover, correct, or forget, there is proof of life - something can be made, something can emerge, something can breakthrough, we must simply persist.
Color Field
Oil on Canvas Triptych Installation, 2007
Much of my work contemplates the actual process of making. Inspired by abstract expressionism, I explored the boundary between painting a 3-dimensional object and turning an oil painting itself into a 3-dimensional object that interacts with the space around it.

Vinyl tubing, fishing line, oil paint, 2007
The culmination of senior exhibit was an installation of tubes filled with dripping paint, suspended in the center of the gallery in the shape of a cube. What happens when paint leaves the canvas? Can it exist in the space as its own work of art? Can we interact with paint as a 3-dimensional object? Can we immerse ourselves in a painted work? Demolishing the boundary between viewer and active participant, I asked gallery visitors to step into and walk through the work itself.
Depths
Stacked Plywood, 2007
Continuing the exploration of form, curves and lines, I created a sculpture by shaping, stacking, and carving plywood to create a cocoon-like suspended work. The interior exposed the stacked layers, while the layering of the plywood itself forms a smooth, linear exterior surface. A juxtaposition between layers and layering - stacked and smooth, interior and exterior.
React and Untitled No.1
Oil on Canvas
Much of my work contemplates the actual process of making. Inspired by abstract expressionism, I explored the boundary between painting a 3-dimensional object and turning an oil painting itself into a 3-dimensional object that interacts with the space around it.
