Artist Statement
The images that appear in my work refer to natural form - waves, rock faces, leaves. Sometimes the initial form is clear, sometimes more abstract. I am attracted to forms that have been altered by time, erosion or disintegration. My process is to find the image by layering and revealing and layering some more. I like to work collaboratively with materials ( paper or cloth ) and by crumpling and dyeing allow the material to make its own image before I add my own painting or drawing, always following the suggestions before me.

I use various papers that bear the marks of many printings or drawings to make collage. To these I often add my own handmade paper, some dense and sculptural and others so light and transparent they seem almost not there.
