"I love to paint! I love the way paint smells, the way it feels, the way it moves, the way it caresses a surface. I use traditional painting and drawing techniques combined with personal mark-making to create abstract and expressive pieces. I work intuitively and in several different mediums - Encaustic, Oil and cold wax, and layered Graphite. I also create encaustic monotypes.  I  experiment with a variety of non-traditional tools such as needles, bowl scrapers, skewers, nails, and dental implements. On the paintings,  I use a variety of drawing materials and may utilize different types of  papers.  My process is not unlike a visual jazz - each stroke elicits the next as layer after layer is applied to a substrate. I continue in this fashion until the painting reveals itself."
