My work is intuitive and changes consistently from the start, up to the final brush stoke. I use multiple images over one another creating a fragmented version of what was. Color plays an important role in my work, it translates the multiple images, elements in each piece into a cohesive mesh of line, shape, and form. Every shape and color plays a role in the work as a whole not just philosophically but literally.
