I make these paintings on gessoed paper because they allow me to explore certain themes in my work. I like to create a square within the paper and then have the brush strokes "cross over the line". Painting on paper enables me to play with these shapes. This work is inspired by a vase of zinnias that was in my studio. The flowers were beginning to fade. The color was literally dropping of the stems. While these can be hung, I love to hang them floating slightly away from the wall. By placing a nail in each corner and then using small magnets to hold the work in place, it creates a simple, minimal presence.

Inspired by nature, history and the spaces humans create for themselves, my paintings and constructions conflate place and structure with memory and perception. I draw upon the experiences of place, seeking to distill the natural world and our perception of things down to their very essence. Though the work is abstract and minimal, it is anchored in the real. The slight angle of a tree trunk, a series of telephone lines or a particular pattern of current flow within a body of water become communicators of emotion, feeling and experiential place. My work is concerned with activating this space both in the painting and in the viewer.
