Artist Statement
I am attracted to the feel, texture and colors of found objects. I am intrigued with and seduced by the patterns and shapes seen in recycled construction materials, rusted objects and things left behind and often thrown away. These objects with a previous life or use are the foundation of what I construct and layer into my work. Inspiration comes to me in many ways.
I mix unusual pigment and found objects along with damar resin and beeswax to create color and texture. I preserve the signature of our society’s disposable consumption in a medium that will last for future generations to discover. I embed those things consumers leave behind into the encaustic medium to create a two dimensional time capsule that will last forever.
