”Glacial Erratic”
Glaciers travel across the earth, carving valleys and sculpting mountains, indelibly changing landscapes forever. They often pick up chunks of rock and transport them over long distances. When they drop these rocks, they are often far from their origin—the outcrop or bedrock from which they were plucked. These rocks are known as glacial erratic’s.

This concept resonates with me and the way I create my paintings. They often begin as an undefined thought or feeling. As the painting progresses, it becomes clearer until it is dropped - often far from its  origin - churned, twisted and shaped by the glacial movement of life around me.
