ARTIST STATEMENT
Layer upon layer of papers and mixed media are directly applied to a grid and then scraped, peeled or sanded away. This spontaneous process creates an organic multi-layered texture where images are sometimes buried and revealed simultaneously. This work creates an overall visual field where the eye is free to roam and find surprising detail wherever it rests.
ABOUT THE ARTIST
I am a self-taught mixed media artist living in the Chicago area. I attended Loyola University School of School Work where I received a master’s degree in social work and practiced as a clinical school social worker for years. I began pursuing my passion for creating art after raising my 3 sons.
