Artist Statement:
For years I've established
myself as a colorist, which I
still am, but the newest work,
Listening to Raven, is
essentially reflective of a
corvid's moods, with subtle
blue light mingling with black
and gray. So I am an
interstitial artist--painter,
illustrator,textile designer,
stained glass maker--who
creates environments real and
imagined that people can walk
into and lose their edges. A
professional artist adn
writer, I see myself as a
visual storyteller creating a
new mythology.
Fascinated with the interplay
of color and light, I
translate nature’s mysteries
and movement into expanded
forms of beauty. Extended
visits to the Florida Keys and
the West Indies, travels to
Indonesia and Australia, and
living in the Hawaiian Islands
influence my artwork. In 1986
I began painting on silk,
using Japanese brushes, French
dyes, and gold resist.
Layer upon layer of color
produces a depth and vibrancy
unique to this medium. Not
knowing the rules I have
developed a style that causes
painters to ask me to divulge
my secret. Didn’t realize I
had one. I just do it. ...
