Artist Statement

 
Rapidly spreading on silk, transparent dyes cause the artist to swiftly create the painting with spontaneous action. My painting process is similar to a jazz musician; I begin with a general vision in mind, sketches alongside, and I go with the flow, capturing the mood of the day, trusting my experience to improvise.

"Using French Dupont Dyes, heavy charmeuse silk, and wax resist, I begin to layer...


The fabric's ability to absorb, the order in which dyes are layered, all contributes to the hues and tones of the final painting. My painting process is a combination of silk painting and batik."
