“ Symbolic color has become important in my work. I'm exploring the conversation between societal, personal, natural, and artistic uses of color. My compositions, both figurative and abstract, feature symmetrical shapes that create orbs, atmospheres, cells, galaxies, thought bubbles, tunnels, portals, and mind caverns. The space on the page or cloth feels simultaneously huge, human-sized, and microscopic.”
