STATEMENT

My “Myth, Muse and Metaphor” series, begun in 2022, was inspired by current events and thoughts of chaos, although the work is very playful in execution. These mixed media paintings featured a variety of fantastical creatures flying or suspended in the air. In my latest iteration of this series, I am using found vintage photo faces, whose bodies become flying birds. My work is composed of acrylic, vintage style wrapping paper, maps and found papers. I am interested in the formal aspects of picture-making as well as a narrative that can lie beneath the surface.
