I am a visual artist, print-maker and photographer; with a focus on Cyanotype experimentation. As I explore the relationship between light and pattern, I use botanicals, printed fabric, and monotypes to create a juxtaposition of colors and layers to create compelling images. Brush strokes, leaf formations, texture, paper type, exposure times and dried paint- all of these and more are used to enhance the visual effects of a piece to make it engaging and meaningful to me.
My work is steeped in inspiration from the natural world of plants, giving it elements of emotion, whimsy, and magic, as I leave room for the material to guide my experiments. My fabric work is often used to make functional art and layered tapestries representative of my artistic explorations. I have recently incorporated multimedia pieces to my repertoire.
I am also a digital freelance photographer, primarily doing commercial photography for architects, interior designers, builders and contractors. My detail-oriented vision thrives in spaces where design, color, lighting and geometry come together. While all my other work has room for fluidity and experimentation, my digital work has more form and structure while allowing room for nuance. Using elements of texture and perspective, I attempt to show the uniqueness of each space that I photograph.
