My work focuses on the exploration of color and it’s emotional impact. Color creates beauty combined with undercurrents of emotion that can’t be expressed in words.

My oil paintings on canvas use color theory to explore the layers of different emotions that we all feel when we experience beauty, nature and connectedness. My slide painting are created within oil paint, glue and found slides. The slides are outdated and useless in the contemporary world and yet are useful for holding memories. They serve as historical recordings of how we lived. The content in the slides link us to a shared past in which we are all similar, but also strange. One of the main explorations of my work is that of Mystery and the undercurrent of emotion that is the human condition. Sometimes you can see a slide, sometimes you can’t, but there is always a layer of the unknown beneath the paint and the slides - it does not tell the whole story. Slides can naturally form into a grid that provides a system in which I can explore texture, color and patterns while using oil paints in a contained environment.  The grid is also a place for contemplation and endless looking. I have a deep love for film and the actual film on the slides touch on the intimacy you feel watching a movie in a theatre.
