My paintings combine recycled nautical charts, maps, and water media. Gestural marks, suggesting aquatic movement energize the surfaces, while circular shapes allude to both the micro and macro (atoms, bubbles, and planets). Themes of interconnection are explored, expressing the delicate balance between land and water on our fragile planet.
