"History and the registration of time, both on a personal as well as a universal level are the inspiration for my work. I create landscapes that explore the dissolving of time, transporting the viewer to a unique sense of place and atmosphere.
"My process utilizes the layering of line, texture and color to build imagery which reveals a broad and richly historical personal narrative. The purpose of each painting is to experience a passage of time by delving into the relationships between what has happened in the past with what remains in the present. Through stamped surfaces, buried remnants of cloth, and preserved marks, a story unfolds"
