My paintings are impressionistic landscapes and abstractions derived from my observation of the world around me. I am inspired by the perfect organization, and yet sense of disorder, I feel when in nature. Working intuitively with color and shape, I explore relationships between objects; where they touch, overlap or separate. With the mediums of acrylic on canvas as well paper and encaustic, I frequently incorporate collage elements into my compositions. I notice where objects touch, overlap, or separate. The structure of trees and the interplay of branches and limbs is a frequent theme. I am interested in the spaces in between!
