Lala land
T
​his work is a response to the spaces I encounter and inhabit, walking the land and observing growth and change. I work intuitively, unfolding thoughts and ideas in the mix and push of the paint. Responding to the layering of materials, I want outcomes that are unexpected. I try to attune with the gravitational forces of liquidity, how it ebbs and flows, the qualities of transparency and opacity.  It’s important to me that the work looks natural, light, easy, (but it is not easy!). Poured, pooled, saturated, floating forms, their edges and boundaries congeal to offer a terrain for thought.
