Artist Statement
My work utilizes a process that integrates typography with direct meaning and as textural elements within mixed-media artworks. I affix newspaper or pages from old books and maps onto watercolor paper using gel medium. Once these substrates are dry, I sand the surface and apply color washes and spray paint. After sanding the surface and adding the washes, the text becomes partially concealed, backwards, or subtly visible. I then apply watercolor, ink, graphite, and a number of other mark-making materials to the surface, building the landscape I have chosen to depict. The choice of substrate is deliberately paired with the image for reasons such as color, visible text, composition, and an overall feeling or mood. Typically, I depict landscapes from places I have personally visited. I work from my own photographs and memories of the place. Each landscape acts as an introspective journey that becomes an atmospheric representation of the location.
