Balance is a central theme in my work, and it appears in three forms: visual balance, life balance, and, separately, the push and pull of achieving these.

I use paint and printed images to create visual spaces where the viewer can linger in a moment of confusion and attraction. The eye must work to perceive one element of the collage from the other. The painted areas consist mainly of watercolor that has been applied in a carefree, spontaneous way. The printed elements, however, are meticulously chosen from my collection of found images. 

This process of balancing color and texture parallels the act of navigating daily life, with its never ending mundane tasks and overwhelm of information. My work is a response to these conditions.
