My paintings are suggestive of nature. Abstract, active, landscapes which "picture frame" a quiet central stillness, a resting place; with sporadic dots and lines that mimic the life or energy that is inherent in nature, it's essence.
Using a process called encaustic, I work with molten beeswax. This allows me to push and pull the surface of the painting. I apply layers of opaque and transparent wax, burying what lies beneath, and then scrape away to reveal fragments of what is hidden. Working in this manner I am able to repeatedly work and rework the surface until the painting is complete.
