Artist Statement
As an artist I like to work in series. This method allows for a broad range of possibilities and for intuitive and personal results.
Within the contest of pre-defined working parameters for each series, I can expand in depth on subgect matter and techniques. The vocabulary of shape, color and texture is essential to the overall process and guides the compositional development of the series.
