Doors and Secrets "Every group or family has its doors and secrets. Sometimes you have to know when to knock and when to walk away." Background and Reflections: This painting grew out of an attempt to decipher the human dynamics in my own family...a life-long pursuit. As we examine situations or revisit memories and dialogues exchanged, each of us tries to come to terms with our own stories, families, and lives. I have been a student of human motivations for my entire life, too many times asking "why" in an attempt to get an explanation. My parents (and the nuns) viewed this question as rebellion or objection..., when in fact all I mostly wanted to do was understand what was being said, the real reason behind a privilege being taken away, etc. My curious nature fortunately was not dampened by it often having been "frowned upon" by my elders. It is that curiosity - even retroactive as I look back on life situations - that continues to fuel my imagination and translate some conundrums into paintings or sculptures. Truth be told, I am still puzzling over family dynamics – mysterious vibes that are interpreted differently by each player’s perspectives and experiences. May we all continue to engage our minds and imaginations...using our analytic and creative (and other) super powers for GOOD. Good works, positive action, and kindness.

PHILOSOPHY: In imperfection, lies reality, beauty, and character. As a visual artist, my work examines and responds to the notion of narrative and the interplay between singularity and universality in storytelling. The more personal the story, the more universal its message. Focusing on the imperfect in a world that embraces limited or constrictive definitions of beauty, my goal is to challenge those definitions and perceptions. My hope is that I influence a change of mindset wherein beauty truly is redefined in the eye of each beholder. Unique beauty lies beneath the surface of every individual. - STATEMENT: I create abstract assemblages in shape, color, and line. Finding beauty in the unfinished, my work focuses on relationship dynamics and every-day or chance encounters as they impact identity. With intuition and investigative precision, I explore the energy, motivations, chemistry, and undercurrents between individuals - from the inside, out. My creative process involves building a character in layers, mimicking the way in which identities are formed throughout a lifetime: layer by colorful or complex layer. I let the form and placement of figures and shapes imply subsurface content and emotion. Focused on transience and imperfection, some common themes that run through my work are telling the unknown or hidden stories. - APPROACH: My creative approach parallels my analytical process in that my goal is to try to figure out or resolve challenging situations, encounters, experiences, or relationships. As a result, the beginning phases of new paintings can often appear explosive, congested, chaotic, or seemingly overflowing in conflicting colors and content. These expressionistic elements are integral to the entirety of a piece, providing layers and much of the substrata and undercurrents that need to be emphasized or masked in later stages of the creative process. In later stages my creative process transitions from largely intuitive to a dance between the objective and subjective perspectives in the editing phase, where I construct, deconstruct, reveal, or mask details as needed, weaving a metaphorical interpretation of experiences, while leaving each work enigmatic enough to invite viewers to engage. - FOCUS: My art honors survival and the individual spirit and history of people as they coexist, survive, and interact.
