“Alchemy and visual stimulation have always been a focus of my work. Transformation is a fascination—mixing materials, elements and concepts resulting in something different, hopefully something provocative, and sometimes a variation on proven techniques, creating new and varied solutions. With a background in design, my work is frequently graphic and sometimes dramatic—intended to speak for itself to each viewer. My work is varied—including the use of wax in encaustic painting and often mixed with other elements, which allows for different forms of transformation through manipulation, to fuel my curiosity in creating an alchemical marriage of disparate materials.”
