Artist’s Statement
Encaustic paint is my medium of choice, I do take a bit of multimedia approach but, in the end, it all comes down to that beautiful, luminous and tactile beeswax. I just can't get enough of it.
My most recent works are spread across three main themes: Topography, Landscape and quiet spaces I choose to call Soft Landings.
The Topographies reveal my love of adventure, travel and my need for first hand experiences. I need to tread the path.
Abstracted Landscapes have been part of my visual lexicon for many years now. I love sharing my view of nature—that unsentimental force.
My own Transcendental Meditation practice and the general need to disengage from time to time has brought about the Soft Landing series. I love staring at the clouds. I just don't do it often enough. We have so much visual stimulus and so few introspective moments.
Creating and making art is one of the most gratifying things I do. It's my deep need to express this fundamental part of me. Words often fail me, the paint never does.
