Artist Statement:
Cezanne once said that you can
draw an apple or a head and it
isn't about the apple or the
head - it's all about line and
color. A life long
illustrator, I was inspired by
another colored pencil artist
to create my own still life in
2000. My greatest joy is
working with line and multiple
layers of brilliant color to
create the illusion of three
dimensions on a two
dimensional surface.
This has allowed me to explore
and test my skills as a
photorealistic artist.
Although the items for a still
life are usually selected for
their reflective qualities or
texture; crystal, pewter and
satin, quite subconsciously I
choose objects that have deep
emotional significance in my
life - a goblet I inherited
from a grandmother, a
tablecloth I received as a
wedding gift, etc., even the
flowers themselves were given
to me to celebrate a special
occasion. When the piece is
finished, it becomes a sort of
biography.
When I look at the hectic pace
of my family life, I realize,
I am creating work to inspire
visual tranquility - the
creative process itself into
which I retreat, and the final
product - both are a spiritual
journey for ...
