“My work, like my experience of life, is about
layers. I layer color over color and glass over
glass, opacity over transparency. Just as joy
layers over sorrow and today over yesterday, in
my art patches of brilliant colors peek through
darker ones like sweet secrets heard on a summer
day, remembered in winter. So all my experiences
come together in each work. Brilliant background
colors express the joyous freedom of my
childhood Idaho summers; layered with years of
work and study, loss and gain. The tactile top
layer expresses the now – taking us right up to
the present, which will never be here again.”
