Chaos defined my life when I was young and from it I formed a strong sense of empathy and a curiosity into the nature of relationships that I attempt to translate into my art. I tell stories in wax and pigment that begin with chaos and some beautiful destruction then eventually build into many layers of color and texture speaking of how our nature is linked to our surroundings. Encaustic painting is the way I gather the world around me, draw on my own history and use the language of the materials to concoct fictions that I hope will resonate with others.
