I combine my passion for writing with my passion for painting. I write and draw on my paintings, creating layer upon layer of drafts and revisions. These layers in turn create a rich ground for the next layer of language - simultaneously obfuscating and clarifying narratives, sometimes revealing entire passages or deconstructing documents to the point where the viewer can process only one letter at a time. This is, in part, an exploration of the link between internal dialogue and external physical manifestation. My studio, shared with two dogs and a goat, is located behind my home in East Austin.
