My artwork is colorful, lively and elegant. I use a visual vocabulary that includes ornamentation in the form of pattern and repetition. Some of my work is abstract but referential, and some include images, usually in the form of line drawings. Sumptuous, intricate, ornamented, my current paintings are richly referential – they call to mind a range of associations from mandalas, the cosmos, cells, lace, brocade and more. I think of myself as someone who creates worlds within worlds with the aim of revealing profound, contemplative, slow, truths.
