		Born: 1970, Los Angeles. School: The 
		School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Reside: New Hampshire. 
		Artist Statement: 
		Painting loosely with wax, creates a textured, unpredictable line. I 
		work with it in large strokes suggesting just the shape of an object. 
		The cooled wax leaves its own impression on the canvas. I sew into these 
		wax layers and crevasses with thread, giving a torn and unraveling 
		effect to the piece. Essentially, it is deconstructive work and has a 
		lot to do with releasing attachments and finding memories.
