Now, about my artwork. This is my artist statement: A major portion of my work focuses on using maps as metaphor for life experiences. The chosen maps relate directly to my life, although other viewers may recognize an affinity as they address these allusions from their own point of view. The palette is selected in reference to and with respect for ancient parthment maps. This series is called Mapped Facets. The same materials and techniques are also used to work in several series which reflect other influences, each with its own color range.
