My work is a layering of time, space and memory.  I capture my experiences through object, color, and numeric associations.  These elements are the frameworks from which my artwork stands.  I feel that art can be the means to communicate without spoken language.  My drawn lines and abstracted forms become my visual representations of conversations and feelings.  My artwork re-presents the unseen presence that feelings pose onto actual space.  By capturing these emotions in paint, drawing, and installation they become infused in time and space; not to become stagnant, but instead, to act as a reminder of what has happened in the past.  It is important for me to acknowledge a layering of memories and experiences that compose the whole of ones Being, often my own but relatable to others.
