Artist Statement:
These paintings are inspired by mapmaking as a system to explore idiosyncratic, personal spaces. They draw from the grid, the measured line and the geographical surface, overlaying literal maps with metaphorical colors and imagery. I am interested in the particulars of place and memory buried, obscured, recovered by this process of layering and editing, where the resulting image is never a certainty. This work engages both my brain and my heart.
