STATEMENT

My “Myth, Muse and Metaphor” series is inspired by current events and thoughts of chaos, although the work is very playful in execution. These mixed media paintings feature a variety of fantastical creatures flying or suspended in the air. They are composed of acrylic and vintage style wrapping paper. I am interested in the formal aspects of picture-making as well as a narrative that can lie beneath the surface.

I have also been making collages from Doodle drawings. I use my original doodles as a guide when cutting shapes that are adhered to index pages from a world atlas.
