Artist Statement
I am drawn to objects that have been used as symbols in religious icons and vanitas paintings. By placing these symbols in a new context—the artist's studio—parallels begin to emerge between the objects’ traditional meanings and the process of creating art.
​
I set up each still life using a combination of warm and cool light. I try to capture the subtle shifts from light to shadow by using a variety of media to create a haze of color. I work from life, but I also use photography to plan and enhance my compositions.
