Artist Statement

I am fascinated with outer space, the immensity, the unknown, the potential and magic. I would never want to go to outer space, I'm afraid of heights -its simply the idea of it.
My current paintings have a quality of depth- of field, of space, information, and of materials. Since they are time consuming to make, with layers of imagery, they acquire a history and a narrative.
They have much in common story-telling and poetry. Layered imagery of places and events have many tangents but no linear narrative.
My decisions are based formally, compositionally and on what compels me.
