My
work is rendered in an energetically charged process. These visionary or shamanic painted stories redress
our world and worlds beyond in a communal reciprocity. Much of my imagery is dreamlike, and comes to
me in dreams, visions, and other liminal states of consciousness where the
material world meets the spirit world. I am attracted to dreamlike places where
tropes merge, meanings shift, and past, present, and future fuse. At these
junctures space can become time, and time can turn into space.
Form, structure, color, and
other aspects of visual expression both define and defy meaning simultaneously.
Work created from and inspired by these states of consciousness often evokes an
embodied and participatory response in the viewer. The viewer finishes the story
in their head and heart, becoming a part of the work, just as the work becomes
a part of the viewer.
