Throughout my career as an artist, I have constructed three-dimensional objects and two-dimensional textural surfaces in order to paint on and into them. These objects include lamps, curtains, chairs as well as completely non-objective forms.

More recently, I have become interested in Fashion and Glamour as a source of inspiration for drawings and paintings. The concerns of high fashion: how color defines shape and form, the ways in which textures are used in connection/ conflict with color, and the innovative ways fabric is sewn and applied to forms, coincide with the concerns I have in painting. Fashion design influences my work because it is visually exciting, dynamic, experimental, and continually pushes the boundaries of taste and style.

The series of Lips paintings follows my interest in creating challenging surfaces to paint on. The drawn, found, and manipulated images in the works suggest a narrative around mystery and glamour. The cement serves not only as texture, but also traps and holds the images in time and place.
