Artist Statement:
My first brush with becoming a self-taught artist was a class I took at the Heron School of Art in Indianapolis in 1986. I was 23 years old. It was the first art class I had taken since I was in the 7th grade. The lesson I learned from that class I still practice today. “Paint. Create. Have fun. Don’t worry about the image, it will come.”
I am motivated by the works of Alexander Calder, Joan Miro, Wassily Kandinsky, and every six year old I meet. The active process of bringing together separate pieces or separate images gives me energy and the satisfaction of creation. I use materials and colors to create a sense of energy, activity, and fun. I spend time with each painting and let the image emerge from my experiences and feelings at the moment. Each item I drop in or line I add helps me find my way to the final composition.
This current series of mixed media and paintings was inspired by warm weather and spaces that encourage us to be playful. Many of them incorporate images of playground equipment and tree houses embedded in vibrant colors and broad/active paint strokes. ...
