Caesura //

 

The silence between words defines them, gives them meaning. This is Caesura...a notable pause. Movement from place to place, starting at an early age with relocation to Brazil, and subsequent life of travel and exploration, fostered a voracious curiosity and interest in the what lies in between. 

 

I am drawn to the physical and emotional rhythms, the visual patterns etched in the topography, and sacredness of place that echoes throughout our history. These are the landscapes of humanness. 

 

My process includes sketching, painting en plein air, art journaling, collaging, exploring and recording the immediacy, unpredictable aspects of color, value, line and shape – the fundamentals of visual storytelling. Incorporating ephemera between layers of pigment provides a mixed media process offering nuances of texture and color resulting in my own expressive, personal topography and iconography. 

 

I often work in series, or collections, with themes of connection, navigation, that liminality of what lies in between the crevices of our geology and memory. Ultimately, my process is finding meaning and connection to not only my personal narrative but to each other.
