Artist statement
A New Definition to Art
My process is one of combining paint and wax; sight and smell. Why should art be limited to one sense? The use of candle wax allows me to explore the sense of smell, which in turn adds more character to my work. I am constantly melting and rearranging the wax in order to give me the desired result. The pieces I make are never permanent, just as nothing in life is ever permanent. They are pieces I can continue and reflect back on as I continue with my life; forever changing as I further my exploration through different senses.
