Artist Statement.
 
I use painting to investigate and find humor within my unattainable need for perfection and control. Deep inside my layered process of geometric combinations, surface, color, and repetition are the abstractions of my life. The process, based on personal associations and formal parallels, never follows a consistent criterion. With a subtle minimalistic approach, I extract visual experiences from surroundings that are familiar yet banal, precise yet anonymous; forming a re-imaging of my inhabitants.   I investigate and re-negotiate methods and boundaries of subject and medium with a painterly approach. With transitioning overlapping layers of structures weighed by scale, tone, and shadow, I manipulate the area so that its presence can become expressive.
