Artist statement:
Through my painting practice, I imbue my work with subjective readings as I explore concepts of vulnerability and protection. Investigating deeply personal histories, I transfer that which is felt from hand to surface. The action of manipulating oil paint, the building up and covering of layers over time becomes a metaphor for the past.
My tactile approach invites the viewer to consider the resilience found in mending and the profound wholeness that emerges from the imperfect. I subvert the tradition of painting by cutting and transforming broken pieces to create sensory narratives.
