****************************************

I explore modernist inspired subject matter through color, shape and figuration positioned within a contemporary context. The visual dialogue between the two develops into whimsical, unexpected and even volatile occurrences that continually fuel my interest. I purposely skirt the line between beauty and raw expression, using intense hues, bold color combinations and gestural mark making.

My recent large-scale works are hybrid print/paintings based on the recycling of my mixed media sketch studies. I consider these artworks variable editions with each piece in the set containing substantial departures in size, color, gesture and composition.

This series questions the parameters of what constitutes a painting and makes use of technology – exploring how constant exposure has profoundly influenced how we process what we see. Juxtaposing illusion with real materiality, I divorce my work from its original context – digitizing, enlarging and reproducing the sketches as flattened photographic images. I further skew the experience by reintroducing paint and collage to create deceptively complex final images.

I received my BFA in painting from the University of Illinois at Urbana/Champaign. I have received several grants and awards including an Illinois Arts Council Fellowship and a CAAP Individual Artist Grant from the City of Chicago, Department of Cultural Affairs. My work is represented in numerous private and corporate collections and I have been exhibited throughout the Midwest and beyond.
