FEATURED WORKIn this series I work with intuitively constructed images. I use elements from painting, collage, drawing and an uninhibited use of materials and process to fuel imagination. The work layers materials, shapes and patterns to create a dense image using cultural artifacts as subject matter. The use of color is critical to the emotional content of the image. A sense of the past somewhere in a buried memory is suggested. The combination of bright colors, nostalgia and found props transcend the meaning of any particular object and invite the viewers to their own interpretation.
