Artist Statement

 

 

 

I am an energetic, mixed-media artist whose creative impulses have produced a large body of unique and experimental work. Building on past work with fiber art and acrylic painting, I have found in abstract mixed-media collage a medium well-suited to my personality. I love the fast pace, the variety of materials (mostly paper and fabric), and the process of construction. My current works are layered: beneath the paper layer, a black base to bring out transparency effects in paper, and above the paper, layers of acrylic paint applied in a variety of ways, such as stamping.

I was raised in the desert of Eastern Washington State and its earth tones show themselves in the colors I use. I teach workshops in mixed-media collage in the Seattle area.
