Artist Statement
Inviting painting traditions and graphic illustration techniques into my process, I playfully depict scenes of womanhood, domesticity, and simple pleasures. In the process of constructing these images, I use a variety of source material: fashion magazines, interior design, and digital bric-à-brac that competes for our attention. Using composition, color, and a multi-layered approach I create environments dense with whimsy, wonder, and references to our digital lives and interior-selves.
