Curiosity drives my inspiration. Abstract scientific concepts in physics, biology and chemistry, along with the pure fun of exploring what paint can do keep me exploring. My love and fascination with materials have pushed me to expand the paintings beyond the flat surface. Synesthesia plays a role in color and composition because when I hear music I see colors. I discovered this when I was in school entering data for experiments on memory. The numbers would create a song in my mind and after I left the lab and went into the printmaking studio, I would then paint the song. Synesthesia is a crossing of the senses, and I think this best describes how my mixed media work represents a beautiful blending of sounds, nature and science.
