I am a visual artist and research scientist whose work focuses on the intersection of my professional life as depicted by biomedical images; my personal life as symbolized by the animals sharing my home and their toys; and my subconscious as revealed through a repetitive mark making process. In my work, images from these sources are synthesized and layered. Some images are developed by establishing game rules to connect the dots and to create spatial, linear patterns, or figurative images. I explore everyday life issues of chaos and control by superimposing decorative grids over randomly generated fields of doodle-dots. In the series After 9/11: Pen and Ink Drawings (middle image), a repetitive meditative dot making process was used to create whimsical to grotesque imagery. In my recent acrylic paintings (left image), hard edge geometric and biomorphic linear abstraction are juxtaposed with the curvilinear elements found in some of my drawings. The right hand image is made by rapidly delivering small droplets of acrylic paint and is reminiscent of my dot drawings.
