My technique uses multiple layers through paint, paper and various mixed media. This creates richness and depth. The layering can bring in some wonderful connections and then I find new ways through those connections.
Inspiration can come in many ways, for example cloth, old structures, the side of a dumpster, calligraphy.

A large reminder note pinned on my studio wall reads: Make it up… which is how I most enjoy working. That is to say, allowing myself the freedom to explore, test, invent, construct, deconstruct.

It's part of the mysticism of painting.
