 Artist Statement My artwork is about the connection of
humanity to nature. I create sculptures and paintings that meld organic
materials such as leaves and insect wings to human figures. I
manipulate scale to enlarge items that are usually very small and
conversely reduce large elements so that a nutshell can yield fruit as
an infant or a leaf can portray a thundercloud. The combination of
seemingly incongruous objects makes visual sense. It also conveys my
own belief that all living things are made of the same earthy matter.
The artwork on this website represents sculptures and paintings from the past three years and can be viewed in slide shows on the following pages: - Quilt Paintings: combinations of separately prepared panels thematically based.
- Nature Paintings: landscapes and leaf "portraits".
- Encaustic Sculptures: mixed media works covered in an encaustic skin.
- Embellished Sculptures: collected objects embedded into figurative sculptures.
