About The Artwork

This piece is about the conscious act of shining the light on any situation—whether it’s an exiled aspect of the self, an area of confusion, a difficult conversation, an old wound, an addiction…All of these human things are commonly kept in the dark, but with tremendous consequence to the mind, body and soul. I wanted the overall arrangement of this piece to feel like an improvised shrine that is worn and weathered but retains a strength and playfulness as well as self-conscious humor in admitting we are all figuring it out as we go. Symbols and ideas include a pink tinged lantern sitting atop a carnival of shapes and colors; a semicircle antenna receiving signals from above. On the left side is a see-through crystal ball alluding to the power of the intuition. The light periwinkle, translucent overlays at the bottom are shaped like quotation marks and remind the mind of sacred texts, writings and personal spells that bring us back to our foundation and connection to the soulspace.

My paintings include hints of two-dimensional icons, stained glass windows, ceremonial objects, carnivalesque paraphernalia, dressmaker pattern pieces, and carefully designed altars. I see the work as functional and as such it may resemble a strange alchemical device, a crude vessel, a protective figure, a fortune teller, a shamanic robe, an asymmetrical mandala…all of which shepherd the process of transformation. I am inspired by the decadence of Art Deco; the hope and efficiency of Mid-Century aesthetics; the joining of texture, light and comfort in interior design; the riotous maximalism in haute couture; the rawness of tribal mark making; and the implied doorway to the unseen in esoteric symbology. All of these influences are cradled in deep investigations into color, particularly its role as a visual phenomenon and catalyst for sparking feeling and narrative. My work is collected worldwide and featured in collections and collaborations in Denver, Seattle, New York City, Macau, Hong Kong, Singapore, Nanjing, Dubai, Edinburgh, and Amsterdam among other places.
