About me

Location	Kathmandu, Nepal
Introduction	I represent interior spaces of the human experience using the natural object as metaphor. A work's meaning often arises only after exploration of the play of tangible elements of color, texture, form and light. Themes that arise are primarily solitary figures or objects within an atmospheric abstraction...perhaps representing interior stillness, the space where compassion is born. My work expresses a subtle sense that the time for individual growth and drastic change has arrived, the old must be shed as only new ways of being and doing will make continuance of the human story possible. Our movement must be toward life, in more cooperative, symbiotic ways. But at present my art has not taken me beyond the individual inner journey that will lead to this collective one. The Dust to Dust series uses acrylic paint, graphite, paper and plants. The Song for the Rising series uses encaustic, a process of painting with molten pigmented wax on panels. Encaustic medium allows me immediate experimentation with texture and layering. It allows incorporation of drawing in the form of incised lines (known as sgrafitto,) collage and mixed media elements.
