My work focuses on the architecture of the subconscious and unconscious mind. Exploring techniques such as long gestural strokes juxtaposed with bold mark-making helps me create an unsettled mindscape. I layer my materials light and heavy to block out whole areas that construct an unfocused state.  The mind intrigues me because things are often hidden from us. How are we affected?  How does the human brain process emotion? What is revealed when we evaluate the unseen aspect of our true selves? Sometimes, the memories can be easily accessed, yet experience creates layers, scars create marks, and we are tangled in our emotion. What is hidden from the subconscious, and where do these parts reside? I examine this process while mapping and rendering the architecture of my mind.
