ARTIST’S STATEMENT

My creative methods include painting, stitching and hand papermaking. My work often explores themes of slowness, the passage of time, of juxtapositions, and of regeneration. Through my practice I aim to counter the frenetic pace of our highly digitized age where faster is often deemed better. Many of my mixed media abstract works and landscape paintings are influenced by my daily walking practice where I attune to the many non-human lifeforms we share our planet with.
