Artist statement
The work arrives to conception from the execution and visual investigation of subjective experience, created through free imagination, the mundane daily objects, with added imagery of the dream.

I use a mixed media approach drawing, painting, printing with a range of mediums on a small scale. I create many drawings and paintings that I find inspiring or interesting without editing the process. The imagery is assembled on the computer and the experimentation that occurs with the collage allows for a deeper transitional space. I alter the images with transparency and scale creating more drama and illusion to feeling and experiencing. It is printed as a large format digital print and I continue draw and paint overtop. The process has many layers and transformation allowing for my experience with these elements of life to create their own narrative and transformation.

The approach to making the work is a blend of old skill and new media. The work is in constant flux between our levels of apperception and perception, the subjective and objective world. Playing with the delicate paradox to which everyday existence resides and our experience of the world is translated. The art objects sit comfortably between these modes of experiencing.
