Strata - inspired by the strata of the earth viewed on mountain sides and valleys, I invite viewers to contemplate the intricate dance between creation and destruction, growth and decay, as well as the cyclical nature of existence.  despite external pressures and upheavals, there's an inherent beauty and potential for renewal. 

Moving beyond literal representation, my Abstract Earth pieces delve into the aerial perspective without tethering itself to the natural landscape. Here, the artwork transforms into a combination of colors, shapes, and textures, transcending the boundaries of the familiar and inviting viewers into a realm where abstraction reigns supreme

On a flight with my son, a pilot, I found myself captivated by the dual nature of the world when viewed from above – simultaneously familiar and abstract.  This led me to explore and discover the abstractness of the earth from an aerial perspective.  The 'View from Above'.

 

The 'Salt Flats' pieces were inspired by the vibrant hues and captivating textures of the salt flats.   I create the polished, translucent, areas of the colorful evaporation pools juxtaposed with areas where I employed my signature ‘drop’ technique to build an abstracted interpretation of the textural areas of the roads and accumulated salt.

I flew with my son, a pilot, and was intrigued with how the world, when viewed from above, was at the same time familiar and abstract.   This led me to explore and discover the abstractness of the earth from an aerial perspective.

In the Life Signs series, I reinterpret familiar symbols we encounter every day—those quiet instructions we rarely question, hieroglyphs that go by unnoticed as we move through the world.  Each piece explores the dual meaning embedded in these icons.  Rendered with my signature method of meticulously placed droplets of encaustic paint against  smooth backgrounds, their textured surfaces create a tactile tension.  My hope is that viewers will leave seeing them not just as commands, but as quiet cues to reflect, reframe, or simply notice the humor embedded in everyday signals.
