After undergoing brain surgery in 2014, my sense of color, line, shape, space were all heightened. Paint became my solace, allowing me to express and process all that was happening during my recovery. Painting is often a projection of my inner thoughts, struggles, feelings, and is a push-pull between me and the canvas. My color palette, my marks are all an expression of conflict searching for balance and calm.
This on-going work explores an emotional landscape of feeling and memory I am unable to express elsewhere. I rely heavily on personal experience to build a visual vocabulary. Through the use of color, line, shape, and space these thoughts and feelings begin to create their own narratives through the paintbrush.
