My work deals with the universality of life, loss, grief and identity. I try to make the personal universal. The work balances between representation and abstraction. I flirt with the unknown borders and edges of my existence. My paintings form no document of scientific inquiry, no explanations of universal mysteries, but rather a poem, a chant, a song draped in symbols of line, form and color. My song delves deeper into questioning that space between abstraction and representation. Between the “knowing and not knowing.” this construct applies not only to the representational imagery I am now utilizing but also a touchstone for what we cannot know.
