I focus primarily on surface quality, particularly line quality and pattern. I want my work to captivate and refresh people purely through a visual experience, without involving the intellect. I'm interested in making a beautiful object when I make my art. I think this is in response to how demanding the world is of us, in terms of thinking, coping and making meaning out of everything. I'd like my work to provide a little relief from that. I make paintings and drawings in mixed media, including acrylic, collage, and watercolor. I am also a textile designer.
