Artist Statement

Visual artist who makes contemporary abstract drawings in response to architecture.

Recent work is inspired by architectural light and comprises layers of contemporary abstract drawings activated by light in the space. The translucent layers of drawings interact with each other in response to rhythms of light, gradually altering the character of the work, revealing different aspects over time.
