ARTIST STATEMENT

My paintings straddle abstraction and a not quite figurative but suggestive imagery. With no single layer dominating, drawing and washes of color tangle with more concrete passages of ribbon-like gestures of paint that appear to be floating in the ether, ghostlike. Like a mirror to the psyche.

What art classes did you take while at Crossroads? I took several of the ceramics classes. I was taught by Cindy Kolodziejski.

How did Crossroads help to shape or influence you as an artist? Crossroads encouraged a lot of cross pollination between art, dance, music , writing and even math. I believe that open way of thinking has been a part of my approach to art-making.
