Thematically, I am exploring two streams – the integration of figurative forms with organic textures and the interaction of the straight figurative with foil grounds of various textures and colours. I look for compositions that aren’t immediately recognizable, making the viewer work a bit before the image becomes comprehensible.

My technical approach – transferring the pigment from my print onto a textured foil ground is an extension of my thematic approach. Through the use of various textures and colours of foils, I am able to further integrate and abstract my images.

I believe that an abstract image can tell us more about a thing than the thing itself can.

EXHIBITION
March’s “group of seven” from the Mad and Noisy gallery will examine methodologies of abstraction and minimalism through mediums of silver, encaustic, paper, paint, stone, and digital imagery.  Whether it’s depicting the bare essentials or altering imagery beyond the literal, each artist’s imagery celebrates the elements and principle of design, while simultaneously increasing the accessibility to the work.  We invite you to take in this ethereal collection of works that celebrate the notion of ”less is more” through accomplished studies of colour, line, shape and form.
