Blue Calm Painting

Based in NE Minneapolis my artistic practice combines the style and language of painting, printmaking, collage and installation art. I am exploring and experimenting with Landscapes from memory, connecting my identity through provocative collaged surfaces. I am interested in contemplating the beauty and ethereal quality of nature and places I once called home. I use various painting materials and methods to evoke a sense of space. My work is transformative by nature rearranging compositions and fragments through surface abstraction. These Landscapes provoke strong memories and questions of home, belonging, what is familiar and what is foreign? With the idea that nothing stays the same, I work by deconstructing surfaces excavating fragments of information and documenting a specific moment in time. Using fragmented prints, papers and cut canvases, I focus on the material record and unique charter each piece when collaged together brings to these changing Landscapes.
