ARTIST STATEMENT

The concept behind my work is to draw a parallel between the need to conserve our dwindling earthly resources and the beautiful places we risk losing if we don’t. My work is composed of dried paint, along with scrap paint that I have collected for the past 20 years. To most people, these materials would be considered waste and discarded. By arranging these pieces of paint into idyllic landscapes, I am inviting the viewer to not only appreciate the aesthetic value of the work, but also consider the importance of prolonging the lifespan of any given product in our increasingly disposable culture.
