These paintings were completed in 2020 in response to the pandemic and issues we confronted in the United States during that time. They reflect my grief and hope during an unprecedented period in our history. I seek to suggest ideas rather than explicitly illustrate them, finding beauty and freedom in the ambiguity of abstraction. Painting is a part of my spiritual practice, a means by which I process my place in this world, and an expression of longing for peace. Allusions to plants and the soil from which they emerge serve as metaphors for impermanence, change, or institutional disease.

I create collage paintings using acrylic paints on a non-woven, synthetic fabric often used for large murals. I glue together remnants from old mural projects, reconfiguring, reworking and painting over the discarded pieces to create something unexpected. Nature is my solace and inspiration and thus many lines and visual textures are built up by using pine needles, leaves, or branches I find while hiking. The pleasure of painting with a traditional brush is also part of my process.
