ABOUT THE ARTIST

I work primarily in acrylic and mixed media – collage, china marker,
graphite and oil pastel. I have always been drawn to the contrast created
between architectural lines and shapes and the more organic flow of our natural
surroundings. In my work, I strive to create a balance of rigid lines among layers
of loose marks and color. Every piece is a raw and authentic expression of my
thought and emotion – my experiences. Each layer is a snapshot of thought and
dictates the next. My work tells my story, my hope is that the viewer can find
their own story embedded within a given piece.

When I am not in my studio, I am either teaching or spending time with my family - likely on a sports field or at the hunting camp. I have the privilege to share my love of visual art with children as an elementary art teacher where my two boys attend school.
