You'll like Janice if: you’re a firm believer in coloring outside of the lines
My work has always reflected an engagement with the natural world. The sensations of my experiences, filtered through the crucible of memory, make their way into the paintings in sometimes obvious and sometimes unconscious ways. Painting is an attempt to describe the ineffable. For me, the act of painting informs the development of the image. The dialogue that occurs each time a mark is made, and then what follows next, is an attempt to resolve all of the rumblings in one’s head toward making some kind of sense through this visual language. What makes a painting of interest to me, is when I arrive at the right balance of intention and uncertainty.
