I have always been a narrative artist, interested in exploring small moments in time that help define our connection- or disconnection to ourselves and to each other. All of my work, whether painting or artist books, involves intuitive juxtaposition of images in both real and imagined spaces. Rather than begin with the narrative intact, I generally start with a singular image and allow the content to unfold as I work. This process often results in unexpected relationships and multiple layers of meaning in the finished work.
