As an extrovert in a complex world trying to find stillness, I capture the belonging I feel in nature as a way to be in this modern life. I am process oriented. Relating to my formal training as a metalsmith and working with my hands as a midwife, I love the physicality of my materials. I savor craft-like method of encaustic painting: construction, fire, carving, and rebuilding. The movements of painting itself make the work therapeutic, and the texture and smell of the encaustic medium recall earth and skin, encouraging me to explore that relationship. I know my work is complete when it feels familiar and sensual and evokes connectedness.
