Working in acrylic on wood panels, I draw upon found images as visual resources. Movement is a recurring theme in the imagery - fabric in the wind, children at play, petals floating. Over and between the composition created from photos, I add painted layers of color, shape, texture and patterns, creating and interaction between those key images and the negative space. Each painting integrates seemingly disparate elements into a cohesive whole, inviting viewers to enter and respond to the constructed world.
