Abstract artist exploring the expression of inner life and obsessive practices thru multimedia.
Using a range of media from oil paints to collage and hand embroidered pieces, I create abstract images based on topographical maps, color obsessions and personal histories. As a student at UC Santa Cruz I focused on large scale oil color field images, as an artist outside of academics I focus on small scale abstractions focused on obsession, repetition and limited color palettes.
