I feel that I am involved with the relationship of imagery in space rather than the actual images themselves. Many of the images are combinations of tribal symbolism, elemental properties, religious beliefs, sex and gender concepts, and pockets of energy whether they reference a nebula in space or an explosion in Iraq.

Recently, those languages have been relating to environmental issues that our society is newly experiencing. I have switched from oil to acrylic and water on raw canvas attempting to enhance the properties of water and then sealing this into the canvas beneath layers of clear gesso, paint, and clear emulsions. I am exploring a combination of the figurative and abstract imagery with a specific focus on scale. I find a more atmospheric, landscape quality gives me a reference point that these constructed worlds have taken on.
