Artist Statement
“I believe in the middle ground. Not the tame, ‘I give up’ middle ground, but the tense, uncomfortable point that provokes reflection and thought when confronted with opposing ideas, emotions, and forces. In Here Versus There, I search for that ambiguous middle point between opposing forces in myself and communicate them with the viewer, hoping to provoke, in turn, a mirrored feeling. The minimalist drawings which are the beginnings of my painting process may become a spider’s web of complicated storytelling of opposing thoughts or may become an ambiguous, anxious expression in a painted character eager to tell her story but not certain that she should. In the center (or end) of it all, are landscapes that still do not manage to escape the opposing forces, trying to be peaceful and yet anxiously narrative themselves, caught between an eternal Here Versus There.”
