Artist Statement
I work systematically with flat color surfaces that convey piles of shapes. These piles demonstrate balance, imbalance, repetition and continuity depending on the weight of the color. Rather than a representation of the external, my work is an expression of my existence.  As one day follows another, I repeat the same action over and over much like placing a stone on a mountaintop cairn.

One day, I sat and looked at a framed drawing next to me in my studio.  It came up my mind “why don’t I work directly on the glass?”  So  I tried it out on some plexiglas.  I enjoyed it!  It was so much fun.   I am developing a  series of work on plexiglas.  I play with color and form with rigid lines to explore materials with meticulous care. I like to challenge myself through daily practice.
