These pieces have a tactile quality and graphic contrast between lines and the grid of the tiles.  Painting with layers of underglaze requires thinking several steps ahead.

Through art, I communicate the push/pull of constancy and change and the beauty of humanity and small pleasures in daily life.  My paintings can vary in size and materials, and use carved stamps and tape to create texture and delineate space. recreating the surface of a scene (eg, a restaurant, bar, street), with abstract elements acting as commentary. I'm interested in showing lives with empathy.

I also work professionally as an editor, and can help get your wording across sensitively, effectively, and beautifully. I'm very amenable to making my clients happy!
