Memory, Gesture, Landscape

My abstract paintings evolved from my traditional landscape painting practice and explore the relationship between place, process, identity, and my lived experience.

In the studio my intuitive process is the message, the subject, a visual conversation, an evocative language of declarative marks exploiting ambiguity, texture, pattern and dimension, an emotional call-and-response as I apply layers of paint, an excavation in reverse, landscape as palimpsest. The work is an autobiographical narrative of an inner geography shaped by memory, solitude and longing.
