Native to North America, the White Oak is a grand stately tree. It grows 100 ft and is endangered in some regions. The bark of the tree is a scaly, ridged whitish grey. The oak, here is an elegant woman dressed in a white costume embroidered with copper discs. Her branches grow gracefully to form an irregularly round crown. She looks assertive and strong, maybe a leader or a wise old soul in the forest. Multiple textures are juxtaposed against each other. The chalky bark highlighted by copper leaf and the shiny glazed branches play to create a dynamic visual. The sides of the canvas are finished with paint and the canvas is ready to be hung.

I work predominantly in mix-media. I work in layers to produce rich textural surfaces and build up intensity. One mark will lead to another, which will then lead to a different mark or texture on another part of the canvas or paper until the work is resolved. Nothing is planned unconditionally. I may start with one painting and end with another. While working, I envision narratives: a type of visual dialog between the forms and textures on my working surface. I am inspired by nature and my surroundings and often begin with the representational, but my work frequently leaves behind the traditional notion of figurative painting and moves into the contemporary through the process of building up layer upon layer of paint and texture. Representational forms become paired down - almost abstracted. In all of this - a strong sense of symbolism remains in my work. I paint a lot of trees and as an example, the paintings with grouping of trees painted in a muted palette are in a quiet ballet - a dance that echoes the dance between individuals. The focus on the rich texture of the trunks of trees (not leaves, branches or roots) further strengthens the sense that the trees are also figures. The application of found tree bark to the layers of paint creates another underlying tension in the work, as the textures become an intrinsic part of the painting. My paintings are objects, which also carry symbolic weight. They hold a dialog between the past and the present. I try to stay away from repetition and frequently like to change either my subject matter or even methodology. I consider this as a challenge that will strengthen my work and make me a better artist. I think that every artist has their own artistic imprint and whatever they do and however they portray it, the beauty and exclusivity of their work comes through in the manner they depict it.
