Blending painting and drawing with craft and photography, I make interdisciplinary paintings that draw from my personal meditations on time, place, and memory--investigated through the lens of my identity as a woman and a mother. I capitalize on the tension between abstraction and representation by working on top of photographic prints, overlaying translucent materials, collaging, or utilizing the inherent imperfections of image transfer processes. Layering or distorting recognizable imagery is a means of exploring the liminal or the "in-between:" the sky is earthly and heavenly, the highway is a place and a non-place, the photograph represents a reality but is not reality.

My work is for other wayfarers struggling against the pressure to walk faster, think faster, and do faster. It is made for you, so you can rest easy in the knowledge that someone has blessed your desire to stop and breathe.
