I approach my work as a spiritual practice and love the physical act of mark-making, layering cold wax or acrylics, and working with the torch and molten wax in encaustic.

Combining these media with oils, drawings, photocopies, ink, pencil, charcoal, watercolor, and found objects I work in multiple layers. I often dig into or scrape back layers of medium to expose traces of past moments that are surprising and delightful in how they reveal themselves and the marks of past activity. Encaustic and cold wax medium have become a major focus of my art-making since my introduction to encaustic 10 years ago.

The generation of these artworks is a way for me to fuse the different aspects of my life into beautiful objects that help awaken and focus my devotional practices, and my aspiration to be an agent of healing and kindness in the world.
