artist statement

My love for color, rhythm, and language led me to begin making "poem-paintings." I work with the languages of both the written word and the visual. Each can stand on its own, but I enjoy seeing what happens when I provide the space for their interplay, whether in a small-scale, abstract, acrylic painting or in a larger, more representational, oil painting. I intend for the images and words expressed in my work not to limit viewers' responses, but rather to connect with and free them to consider their own life, dreams, memories and experiences—their own language.
