My approach to landscape is

conceptual; I use landscape to

convey more than a description of a

place. For the last several years I

have been exploring the

intermingling of the domestic with

the natural in drawings, monoprints,

and mixed media paintings on panel.

I've returned to forest images, but

have incorporated semi-transparent

furniture that was in an old house

that had been in my family for 90

years. I play with the furniture's

transparency and its location in the

forest: floating above, embedded

within, or buried below.Placing

furniture from a previous era in a

forest creates a narrative

uncertainty I find fascinating.
