Repetitive lines, bands and patterns serve as a vehicle to explore color interactions. I am fond of the square format as it allows me to think of these paintings as part of a larger whole when I work on them. I am intrigued by the color relationships in a painting and between the paintings when arranged as triptychs or in a grid format.

Encaustic Paintings: Painting with wax necessarily involves a loss of control to some extent. My process requires attentiveness to the painting's surface as I add and remove layers of wax. I watch for unpredicted occurrences as I scrape back the wax and use these to navigate through the painting.
