About This Collection:
"Garden Party"
These paintings and drawings celebrate the plants that grow in my garden and exist at the edge of it, and the processes that enable that growth. Petals, foliage, and kitchen scraps offer rich opportunities for the study of color, shape, and surface. I work from life, mostly outside, collecting observations of natural subjects over time. These unfolding cues guide my use of the the chosen medium - transparency and opacity, hard and soft transitions, color harmonies and dissonance. The works unfold as layered documents of the moments I spend looking.
