Using encaustic, photography, and multi-media, my work explores the realms of connection - how our striving to connect affects our relationships to others, nature, the world around us, and ultimately, to ourselves. I attempt to evoke a sense of how the "ordinary" things in life can bring us to larger truths of the struggle between fulfillment and longing, grasping and letting go, and the transitory nature of our experiences. In my studio I'm surrounded by a wonderful collection of vintage ephemera, old photographs, handmade papers, antique books and letters, natural elements, metals, and other curiosities. As I craft pieces, I incorporate multiple media in layers to create a feeling of mystery and surrealism.
