Artist Statement:
My artistic practice centers on capturing the passage of time through the cycles of life dealing with growth, decay, death and the quest for immortality. No matter what medium I am working in, most of my imagery involves layering as I often combine photography, collage, drawing, painting and sometimes three-dimensional elements in my art making. I choose to add encaustic wax, paint or cold wax to pieces depending on the amount of layering or transparency needed to achieve the emotional impact that I am looking for. Moments of memory, mortality and immortality permeates my process.
