Mediums - painting, drawing

Artist's Statement -In approaching painting, I used color symbolically, brushwork energetically, paint building thickly and then thinly veiling the underlying bones- the drawing. It was in searching for a means of drawing with paint that I eventually passed through to the other side: a drawing practice which fed the painting and allowed the drawing to surface from the skeletal to the muscular.
