Upcoming: my piece was selected for the Red Dot Art Spree at Women & Their Work, Sept 17

In my current work, I manipulate watery layers of inks and acrylic on raw canvas. I’ve been painting outside on large temporary working frames that I built with 2x4’s, dousing my canvas with a well water hose as part of the process. I am working on a series of large paintings to exhibit during the Austin Studio Tour this November at Shady Springs, as well as some smaller framed pieces. This current era feels like an expansive and unhurried shift, with echoes of the past. Making art has always been about trusting myself through the journey of each painting: jumping into the unknown, getting lost and finding my way out. No matter the process or materials I am working with, my art reflects the undulating and somewhat conflicting nature of my internal operating system: structured, unpredictable, planned, impulsive, intuitive, intellectual. I crave peace and solitude and also variety and novelty, all of which I seek - and find - through my work. With energetic movements and sublime moments, making art is a loose exploration of my relationships with nature, change, spirituality, and ultimately, myself. (a little more on that in my general artist statement here) These paintings are not available yet, as they will be part of the show in November.
