“My current body of work reflects my fascination with the parallels between microscopic and macroscopic elements. As I ponder the cosmos or explore deep within a living organism, I find the visual similarities astounding. Watching“The Powers of 10”,a 1977 film by Ray and Charles Eames, was a seminal moment for me in terms of the evolution of my unique way of seeing the world. It showcases the Eames’ passion of infinitesimal versus vast environment. The objects that I paint can be invisible to the naked eye, but perceptible by the human mind. I am continually interested in exploring the juxtaposition between what lies beneath, or out in space, and our perception of beauty and exquisiteness.The encaustic process combined with fluorescent pigments is a perfect medium for me to convey the amazing depth and color that is abundant in the micro and macro worlds. The excitement is the hidden, the unseen, the unknown—always existing, yet waiting to be discovered.”
