I am drawn to the periphery of places, calling attention to what is not there as well as what may be.
I work in series, documenting daily experience in multiple ways as a means of contrasting the stereotypical with the unique. Interior spaces, landscapes, and objects such as buildings, cars, and telephone poles come from sites that I see on my daily journeys. Images play with perspective and scale in a way that often converts the distant and unnoticed to the up-close and intimate.
Process is key to my work. Be it an instant, the mundane, or the imagined, I experience moments through art-making in order to perceive that which would normally go unnoticed. I am interested in exploring the gap between where one is physically and where one longs to be. Through this interest my work becomes a meditation on the untouchable.

"Everywhere at Once" Series in progress. Watercolor, ink, and graphite on paper.
Images such as buildings, cars, and telephone poles come from sites I have seen while trying to get somewhere. I am interested in layering these tiny images in large-scale drawings that become continuous landscapes. Areas of density and confusion are contrasted with areas of rest as a means of exploring daily experience. Each segment emphasizes what came before it and what might come next. Here, I am interested in how something changes when taken from one setting and is placed into another. |
"The World As It Goes By" Plastic Sculptures with water color on paper and collage
Inspired by the peculiar state of driving from point "a" to point "b" with no idea how you got there. Acrylic shapes traced from my car windows provide a perimeter for miniature landscapes. Tiny images float in and out of the periphery and evoke the fleeting moment and the daydream.

"Landscapes at Large" Site specific installations of drawings on plastic.
Line drawings from daily journeys are re-introduced into the outside world by superimposing them onto vistas and tiny spaces. Images play with perspective and scale in a way that often converts the distant and unnoticed to the up close and intimate. The drawings are simple, leaving the hand visible in the work as a means of contrasting interior and exterior worlds as well as adding an awkwardness or humor to the piece.

"You are Already Here" Ink, tape, and acrylic paint on ceiling.
Line drawings from daily journeys are placed onto my studio ceiling where the wood grain suggests landscape patterns. Here, I am intrigued with the phenomenon of looking at one thing and seeing something else.

"Find Yourself Here" Collage on tile.
This series is made of images from travel magazines placed onto linoleum tile. Images are placed in areas that provide cues for three-dimensional space. They explore the desire for escape and are tributes to finding the fantastic in the ordinary.

"Unrealized Vacations" Slides from travel shows and domestic spaces with plastic on wall
The miniature is a re-occurring a theme in my work because it has the quality of drawing one into a unique world. Here, the miniature represents the interior world. Be it unfulfilled hopes and dreams, romanticizing far away places, or the possibilities that come from drawing associations, these pieces explore a sense of place and how a space changes when something from one setting is placed into another.
