ARTIST STATEMENT:

“My work seeks to reflect a sense of stillness, space and the visual history of time evident in the western landscape. The work alludes to the raw typography and vast space where I live and work. In this environment, time often reveals itself in the form of rock strata created by erosion, wind and water both building up in over eons of time and wearing away by the elements in a continuous process. Both process and materiality are always important components in my work. Typically I reveal layers of translucent strata composed of pigmented wax, oil, paper, cold wax and other media that are built up and worn away in the storied layers of the creative process.”
