STATEMENT
My choice to work in oil paint and resin stems from an innate desire to honor and preserve the movement, sound, color and life around me. Oil paint not only yields rich and dynamic color but the nature of its slow drying time and thick application elevate the overarching story of my abstract and representational work — to pay attention and be present for humble and still moments. The application of resin to my abstract pieces is meant speak to this suspension of time. I find that the moments that make a season feel multitudinous are actually quite small; moments that if you’re not paying attention, you could miss. This is reflected in the drifting gold pieces found throughout my expressionist paintings. When I visit the old farms of my past, the creeks and hills and valleys, chaos melts away and I’m reminded of true Grace. These seemingly forgotten places are immensely beautiful in their humility. Overwhelmed in this comforting beauty, I am inspired to create similar spaces through my paintings reflecting poetry, song, prayer and vista, so that others may also feel safe and filled with incredible wonder.
