artist statement

---

My work explores endings and beginnings.  Dark moving to light. Hard moving to soft. Something that was of no use becomes useful in a new context. Archeology meets art. My canvases are alive with adaptation and change.
You begin with the possibilities of the material
                                         - Robert Rauschenburg
My paintings are in acrylic, oil and mixed media. They are non-objective in the tradition of abstract expressionism. I try to challenge the viewer’s eye and trigger feelings and memories of things not present. ​
In the same way, I create reliefs and sculptures from found objects. Layer by layer.
