ROUTER PAINTINGS

The Router Paintings emerged out of the need for experimentation and play. I am a painter through and through, but I am drawn to the object—to the tactile, physical presence of the work. Working on wooden panels with oil and acrylic, I build layered surfaces before carving into them with a hand-held trim router. This process merges the immediacy of painting with the physicality of relief sculpture, where marks function 

simultaneously as drawing and excavation.
