My work explores the psychology of interiors through oil paint and embroidery. These mediums find a balance that endures in all my pieces: that of surrealism and realism, textile and paint, dreams and memory, old and new. Complicated reflections are purposely expansive to create the semblance of deep space that sits on the surface of the work. The spaces are surreal, disparate perspectives forced together around doorways open and closed, offering entrance to new realities. At times the textile can be distinct, at others recede into the colors surrounding it. Detailed and delicate paint is interrupted by thick controlled swathes of impasto and rough textured threads: challenging and conforming to the illusion of paint.
