ARTIST STATEMENT

I am continually inspired by the landscape; the fusing of the dramatic vistas that I have been blessed to live in and the unseen internal landscape.  As a lifelong student of contemplative practices, this merging of the physical/visable with the emotional/experienced is what interests me. Color, contour and light revealed in these imagined landscapes are the foundation of my work. Encaustic offers the opportunity to express my attraction to and passion for bold color and simultaneous translucency; the unexpected play of light between layers of wax that gives life and expression to imagination.
