Through a layering technique, the artist has incorporated Acrylic paint, Collage, Image Transfers, and various mark making tools into this painting. This piece has a spiritual undertone. Being lost a while is often the only way to find our way. This painting embodies the feeling of finding your way along an unsure path. Our journey is messy, but full of possibility and ultimately, beautiful.

Presentation

Artist Statement:

I'm best known for my abstract paintings whose themes range from striving for spiritual direction and progression to hope amid despair.

I live and work in Colorado Springs, CO. I have a printmaking background (printmaking was really my first love). I find that my printmaking sensibility sometimes finds its way into my paintings.

I am currently exploring the ideas of memory and history. My work relies heavily on form, color and texture and deals with the idea of mark making and how marks we make throughout life shape who we are.

Education:

Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree from Brigham Young University, 1992. Specialization in Printmaking

Also studied art at Georgia State University 1990 - 1991
