I've added several branches to my process in the last couple of years that may be difficult to connect the dots on through photos. The cyclical nature of my process that allows each step to build on a future step before it all begins again, is what lights me up the most. I am really inspired by the cyclical patterns that exist in nature and within myself - so discovering a process at my studio that reflects this has been really rewarding. My works on paper began as warm up exercises before I started a larger work on canvas. I grew to love making these so much that they're now a large part of my offerings.

Separately, I often paint flat strips of canvas in solid colors in my chosen palette, before beginning a new series of canvas paintings. This allows me to have scraps around the studio that I can hold up to the canvas to aide in composition decisions. These quickly became my favorite down-time companions to have around the studio. I caught myself constantly arranging these painted strips into random tables capes, or cutting them up (just to have something to cut up - because it's cathartic!)...this then led to my collage work.

And lastly, the high-res scans of my completed large-scale canvas paintings are used to digitally create patterns for my fabric + wallpaper line - another wonderful extension of my process that allows my paintings to take on entirely new lives. So everything that I make in the studio uses components of my process that served an entirely different purpose prior - allowing them to be recycled into something new. These are the same expansive cyclical patterns that I love observing in nature. While my work is more geometric rather than floral/organic, I still feel a huge connection to nature's geometry in the things that I create.
