Artist Statement:
I have been painting all my
life. I find my inspiration
in nature, travel,
relationships and dreams.
Some of my series have
included oils and watercolors
of butterflies, life size
expressive portraits, an
intimacy/sacred erotic series
of couples, landscapes and
recently a series of Moroccan
doorways and arches. Whatever
my subject matter is, I like
it to have a certain "edge".
This may be purely
compositional and/or it could
be emotional. i like to think
that a key word for my work,
whatever format it takes could
be "depth"; depth of space
and depth of emotion.
I like to work on several
pieces at the same time for a
few reasons. My interests
change frequently and I need
to be deeply connected to what
I am working on. This
pertains to mediums and sizes
as well. Some days I am drawn
to oils, other days when I
have less energy I will work
in watercolor. I love the
freedom of moving from one to
another with music as a
constant inspiration. The
music helps me stay connected
to my feelings, which can then
be more easily passed onto the
canvas or paper....
