Albert Einstein said “Memory is deceptive because it is colored by today’s events.” I discovered that it is impossible for me to pinpoint the moment when a memory begins. I’m not sure which comes first, the memory or the story we tell. Maybe it doesn’t matter. Maybe it’s just the cycle of story telling. This painting is part of a series of encaustic and ink paintings representing a memory or series of memories that are either the genesis of a story or are influencing an already existing story. Some paintings are complex and layered while others are simple, even stark. The marks are metaphors for memory. This piece is 1” deep with a black wax edge. A corresponding quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson accompanies this piece: " With most men, scarce a link of memory holds yesterday and today together." The surface of each piece is smooth. Each painting has hardware attached on the back for easy hanging.

A creator, long before I even knew the word “artist,” I have worked extensively in painting, installation, public art, illustration, photography and graphic design. My art is about offering a gateway, a common place for us to meet, to portray our similar stories, struggles and triumphs. I strive to make art that is both a metaphor and catalyst for creating stronger relationships and communities. In this way, art is a connector, offering opportunities for awareness about ideas, other people and our surroundings that we might not otherwise encounter or consider. “My role in society, or any artist’s or poet’s role, is to try and express what we all feel. Not to tell people how to feel. Not as a preacher, not as a leader, but as a reflection of us all.” - John Lennon My drive to create this work and connect with others has presented incredible opportunities throughout my career that began at age 16 when I learned graphic design and medical illustration at the University of Texas Medical School, Houston. I went on to study with noted photographer Carl Chiarenza and printmaker Dwight Pogue while earning a BA in Studio Art from Smith College. I studied photography and printmaking at the Glassell School of Art, Museum of Fine Arts, Houston and was a five time recipient of the Frank Freed Memorial Scholarship for Printmaking. I was also very fortunate to study and share a studio with figurative abstractionist, Ted Katz, in Portland, OR. In addition to fine art, I am also an illustrator and author as well as an adept community manager. I’ve worked with diverse groups such as Freelancers Union and TED; helping organizations reconfigure and refine their programming and build their communities. I am also a TEDx speaker and the creator of the TEDx Artist in Residence program, a global initiative to connect TEDx talks and the arts. My art is available at Saatchi Art and has been on display at the Portland International Airport and at the 2015 TED Active conference where I was the 2015 TED Active Artist in Residence. I am currently working on a special Instagram project that began in September 2014; painting daily watercolor postcards of Scotland. I currently live in Portland, OR.
