I am a mixed media artist, layering together images, designs, and fantasy. My artworks are a celebration of exciting food, the beauty of nature, and interesting people.
Much of my work is a visual feast of imaginative food-centric paintings and sculptures. I aspire for my hand-crafted foods to look so enticing that the viewer is tempted to reach for a delicious looking cake. My paintings often include a 3 dimensional aspect, combining paint with interesting collage elements. My artwork often features some pieces popping off of the picture plane. Some of my artwork features food images, created from various materials, such as layered foam core board, cardboard, or glue.
My paintings are improvisations on realistic images fused onto fanciful and imaginative themes. I use additive and reductive processes in creating my work, removing or embellishing images, and often carving into them, to find the real, hidden story underneath each painting.
