I explore the external as well as the internal
landscape of the earth as well as the body. The end product reveals
much of the process of creation just as we ourselves reveal the process
of our life. I reveal some things under layers while obscuring others.
I've begun including maps of Mississippi in my work as a reference
to where I live and grew up as well as the journey I've taken through
my life.
Just as important as the process and layers of paint
are, the mark making itself fascinates me. I want the mark to reveal
as much as it can about the subject be it a person or even an abstract
suggestion of an emotion.
Through it all, art is an intuitive process for me.
My art is an extension of me and the way I see the world around me. |
