About the artist

I am currently in the mid stages of establishing my artist voice. My desire to create, and strength in my work, comes from surface textures and natural process results. I have a keen interest in natural oxidation: controlling it as a medium, its variances on surfaces, and involving “rust” with mixed media. I have a passion for creating and manipulating the delicate texture and beauty of the natural oxidation process through contrast with another materials or surfaces.

Often times a found object initiates my work: by incorporating it directly, imprinting, or as an inspiration to a composition. My process typically includes multiple layers of media, creating textures the viewer can feel. Over the past years I have solely worked on wood panels with multiple layers of paper, plaster, and acrylic paint. Recently I have introduced fabric into my work, exploring new capabilities and surfaces.

I hope my work serves as a tangible invitation to engage in the often-ignored details of our surroundings, encouraging a contemplative pause to appreciate details, authenticity, and imperfection.
