“FROM THE WOMAN WHO WAS BORN WITH ASSEMBLAGE OF PENCILS FOR HANDS”

Language is a grid on reality. I am striving to create images that transcend explanation, a moment of seeing where
the intangible becomes palpable, visually to take the viewer with me off the grid.

I create ever larger collage on canvas and paper using pencil, ink, oil and a lifetime of drawings cut and torn, layered into text,
my own, or the gift of random lines that haunt and continue to inspire. I strive towards a line defying geometry, an insight into
space that doesn’t line up with the shorthand of everyday vision. Playing in that space before what we perceive as real
solidifies into the concrete I aspire to have my recurring images of horses, boots, musical instruments, most importantly
faces and women’s bodies zoom past the representational into the realm of poetic realism…
