Artist Bio
I am a visual artist with a background in painting, dance, and animation.
After earning my BFA at CalArts in experimental animation, I showed the film I created there in Michigan, California and Bulgaria. I have exhibited my paintings and drawings at museums, galleries, studios, a coffee house, a brewery, and theater lobby at spaces in California, Arizona, Chicago, and Oregon. My work has been reproduced in a museum catalog and a literary journal.
I have taught college courses in Animation and Drawing for Animation; and taught art museum workshop children’s classes in painting/drawing and animation.
Artist Statement
The thrust of my work visually depicts movement, time and space within natural environments. I choreograph line and color to provoke memories of sensations, and physical expressions of the body and the elements. I am obsessed with the power of the ocean and strive to show what it feels like to be tossed and pounded by currents, limbs wavering and torso twisting within the water.
I allow my palette a free range of orchestrated color. My medium is primarily either acrylic on paper or canvas, as well as color pencil on paper. I enjoy and exploit color, but I appreciate the immediacy of black and white and the practice of working with pencil or ink on paper.
Oh, and I like skulls.
