My work is made with cut-outs and acrylic on a variety of sturdy and lightweight surfaces including tyvek paper and polyester film. I am interested in imagery that is complex and that contains repeating variations. The subject matter I have explored has included braids, doilies, eddies, and murmurations, among other repeated forms that are drawn on intricately cut-out backgrounds. The cutouts interact with the architectural elements and create optical effects through cast shadows and reflected colors. The work creates a luminous, meditative space in which the viewer finds renewal.
