A Painting in Process...

Acrylic, Oil, Tea- I am working with concepts of agression and transformation... specifically using imagery from Tibetan Buddhism and contemporary culture. I hope to address masculine and feminine roles within individuals, and human life within a context greater than the individual. This piece has progressed quite a bit from this state and is currently on display at the Lotus Oasis - Lightner Creek Inn.

In the Studio

After a summer of organizing artists of all media and purpose, I am inspired by a new understanding of process and am back in my studio!

Living and working in Durango Colorado, I am influenced by the differences in color, smell, and feelings with each changing season. Allowing myself to observe movement and study culture -past and present- I thread together concept, color and material to form artwork influenced by traditional technique and contemporary life. Working largly with the connotations attached to words, ideas and images, my artwork addresses perspective.
