Size

Title
| Untitled |
|
Medium
| Oil on canvas |
|
Size
| 8 x 6 |
|
Statement
| My work has always been based in natural forms, chief among them, the limbs and roots of trees. I see these shapes as akin to our veins -- representative of the life force. Trees not only symbolize, but are life, hope and endurance. |

Title
| Naive Tree Landscape |
|
Medium
| Acrylic on Paper |
|
Size
| 12.75 x 15 |
|
Statement
| This is one of several works on paper I created, all inspired by a "tree farm" down near Half Moon Bay, California. I like the abstract quality of the composition due to the large number and size of the trees. |

Title
| Untitled |
|
Medium
| Acrylic on wood |
|
Size
| 14 x 10 x .5 |
|
Statement
| I am interested in creating an interpretation of natural and synthetic landscapes, including the built environment, technology, and biological processes. The marks in my work are made using various tools, including templates and screenprint. By putting geometric forms through modes of spontaneity and control, I am attempting to explore specific dichotomies -- the intuitive and the rational, the synthetic and the natural, the mass-produced and the unique -- and the blurring that can occur between these seemingly opposite states. |
