Artist Statement:
My SENSUOUS SENSATIONS series
are visual records of
explorations of my personal
sensuous perceptions, like
erotically charged landscapes,
that reflect my physical,
emotional, psychological and
spiritual being.
My artwork portrays sensuality
and sexuality examined from a
female artist's point of view,
emphasizing the metaphor and
ambiguity of universal
affinities. While exhibiting
biomorphic organic motion, a
richness of energetic
vibrations and depth, they
emphasize the various
harmonies of nature,
encompassing contrary
elements, and objectifying
subjective reality.
While producing my artwork, I
intuitively relate to
particular sensations allowing
images to flow and emerge from
within. The paintings develop
through deft handling, and
multi-layering of thin coats'
of medium.
I like to explore and confront
the psychological and
technical challenges of
experimenting with scale to
translate emotional and
sensory perceptions into
visual space.
