Artist Statement

{ graphic & web design }

My designs reflect my passion for color and type. My abstract-expressive painting background and education in color theory heavily influences my graphic work. I attempt to balance simplicity and organic elements with a bold color palette while using typographic elements in place of imagery. (i.e. through the use of punctuation, brackets, braces)


{ fine art: paintings & drawings }

Elusive, seductive, and emotionally evocative, my primary focus is Color: the feelings it conjures, its social connotations, and its deconstruction. I paint in surges of energy and bursts of imagination. When people see my work, I'd like them to see the way Color makes me feel. My work addresses the female form and the aspect of Choice in all areas of life. My work contains underlying themes about body image, self esteem, gender/gender roles, sex, indecision, and the concept of the Double-Bind.
