Artist Statement
The collision of dimensions is a place where science encounters art through texture, color, composition, and movement. I dream all of my work prior to creating it. The dream state is open to all possibilities where colors become frequencies weaving the tapestry of time. The work is sensually textured abstract surfaces with portions of symbols and images emerging like treasures being unearthed from an archeological dig. I am intrigued with the creative and inspirational possibilities science offers and equally so by the mysteries of the spirit. My background in science combined with my travels in Mexico and South America, and studies with shamans and healers have played key roles in shaping my reality. I have always been fascinated with alchemy, the process of transforming something common into something precious. As a result I make many of my own papers, paints, and encaustics using common elements, and employ the transformative processes of printmaking and collage. Mathematical formulas give rise to complex, dynamic images through the dream state and inspire transformative art.
