Lately I have been working back and forth between landscape and abstraction, with a flavor of each in my practice. I use collage and many layers of paint along with pastel. The collage elements come from papers I have created using gel press and paste paper techniques, along with some old Chinese calligraphy practice pages, and papers I inherited from my mother, who was a hand-bookbinder. I have also been revisiting and rethinking older paintings using collage. In a word, my work is about transformation.
