Non-Representational Art intrigues me because of what I see as this paradox: That which seems to depict nothing in particular can actually hold everything.

This idea of "nothing" leading to "everything" reflects my understanding of the mysteries within my life's journey. As I am painting I consider opposing forces of control/spontaneity, light/dark, horizontal/vertical and the interplay of colors that harmonize or contrast. Encaustic painting can be both fluid and solid. Layering, scraping and scoring become metaphors for time and memory within the paintings.

My Art contains basic structures, layers, fragments and edges. I explore these components intuitively. As I work on each painting I am bringing the separate elements together to create a whole. The ultimate meaning remains purposefully open-ended. For me this reflects a spiritual reality closer to the truth of my life than what could be expressed through a closed narrative or concept. Within my choice to explore open-endedness is a response to current societal and environmental changes that I see as upheavals leading to what feels like an unknown and unpredictable future.
