Artist Statement

As an artist I am interested in exploring the formal elements of painting, drawing and textile printing and dyeing. My work uses a variety of processes and techniques within each piece. Much of my art is based on my knowledge of color theory and the juxtaposition of complimentary colors. I like to experiment with the combination of color and pattern within the constraints of the human silhouette. This is a way for me to explore the relationship that exists between sound, rhythm, repetition and movement within the body. Similarly I try to express patterns that exist within nature and organic shapes that I see on a daily basis. The environment I live in and the experiences that occur in my life have been the source of all my inspiration. I feel as though my art creates the same kind of sensations that are felt in this overwhelming information society. My work was a culmination of this variety of influences.
