My mother is a watercolor painter and used to teach art, so I’ve been lucky to have a rich art education. I am most inspired by two very opposing ideas in art: the cultural collages of Joseph Cornell and the strict forms of Tibetan Buddhist Thankga painting. I also really love Odilon Redon, Mark Rothko, Louise Bourgeois, etc. etc. etc.
As I work I think I’ll continue to find a meeting place where my own true style emerges. Here are some recent paintings:
a painted pin-up, 2008
moving on, mixed media on wood 2010
i wish i were in europe, mixed media collage 2007
no voice box bird, 2007
watercolor thangka in progress, and detail
