I am a context based visual artist grounded in site specific process. Together, my artworks create stories that move between the invisible and visible worlds, speaking to what is unseen but surely present. The practice of Artist as Nomad provides the background world for the visual narratives I create. Subscribing to the idea that art is not so much something to look at, but a means to look beyond what is seen, is the possibility for the artworks to lead the viewer on a meta-reflective journey.

Fresco Medium

By definition, fresco is a technique of painting executed upon freshly laid lime based plaster.  Lime compatible pigments merge with the plaster becoming an integral part of the surface.  The fresco technique has been used since antiquity. 

Structure: fresco paintings are created on museum approved wood panels with cradled edge.  
Fresco Medium:  water, lime putty, crushed marble, mineral pigments
Application:  trowels, brushes, carving tools

Absence and Presence in a Time of Ecological Crisis, silk landscape painting, Salton Sea; cyanotype; 72x48”; 2020. #ecologicalcrisis #abstractexpressionism #silklandscapepainting #cyanotype #saltonsea #recedingshoreline #exposedtires #toxicdust
Creating Cyanotype on silk draped over exposed tires at the shoreline of the Salton Sea. new project : absence and presence in a time of ecological crisis; giving voice to those that can’t speak - listening to existence as it communicates its experience of the Anthropocene, I am making work at site specific locations with theoretical reflection as accompaniment #contextart #conceptualart #cyanotype #ecoart #sitespecificart
The receding Salton Sea will reveal at least 75 square miles of playa, the lake bed that the water once hid. When that soil dries, it will begin to emit dust laced with industrial runoff from the surrounding farms: up to 100 tons of toxic dust could blow off the playa daily. Here are pictures I took yesterday- a wasteland of tires exposed as the shoreline recedes #saltonsea #environmentalcrisis #ecologicalcrisis #toxicdust #recedingshoreline #tires
