I am compelled by the dialogue between the wildness of being and the narrowness of the mark on the page.  I work in nature-based narratives, while allowing magical realism to have space to exist. Invisible forces breathe life into my work as I seek to capture the fleetingness of imaginal realms from dreams and memories. Entwined and enmeshed in my work is the use of symbolic language, which I work with consciously. Most mysteriously, symbols and signs often appear at the very end of the making process, as though once the space was created, they simply emerged out of the no-place and onto the page.
