My paintings are made of many thin layers of wax and pigment, repeatedly scraped on & off a wood board to create a lush, beautiful, layered surface. A sense of light and depth comes up subtely thru the layers of wax.

My work draws equally from minimalism and nature. Subtle shapes and colors lead one to the minutia of experience. I am interested in getting the viewer to slow down. Winter in Alaska is a magnificent palette of gentle shifts in light. Generally there is white everywhere for months on end so the smallest hint of color screams it's presence. I feel a similar sense with minimalist art, where the visceral sense of a piece enriches it's simple form or color.
