Find me right at the top of the bright yellow stairway at the Greenville Center for Creative Arts, alongside a dozen other terrific artists. My work considers the enduring question of what we elect to keep or preserve and the reasons why, and invites reflection on what, or whom, we discard along the way. I also explore the built environment of my adopted hometown, with an eye on renewal and its sad corollary, gentrification. The ancient process of encaustic painting, long forgotten until it was revived by Jasper Johns in the 1950s, seems a perfect medium to explore these ideas of renewal.
