Artist Statement:
As an artist, I find myself
in a constant mental
processing and reprocessing of
images and impressions formed
by an endless array of visual
and emotional stimuli. I am
an artist and more
importantly~I am a traveler~my
art an exploration of myself
translated into forms of
intense color, texture, and
divisions of space. The
journey unfolds into a more
compelling concept of grids
amid juxta-positioning of
richly textured geometric
planes, which emerge from
atmospheric fields of color.
The grid compels me, perhaps
because of the dichotomy
established between the
abstraction of the conceptual
and the rigidity of the image.
Personal reflection has lead
to a realization that key
elements are necessary in my
consideration that a finished
piece satisfies my aesthetic
and emotional involvement.
The color choices, the
arrangement of spatial
relationships, the textural
interest, and the thin
layering of oil glazes, are
key technical consideration in
my work. Emotional
involvement and establishing
dichotomies are important to
the conceptual development of
my work. Dichotomous
elements within each piece
seek to mirror emotions in
contrasts of temperature,
texture, palette and form.
Clearly, I rely on the tools
that are pleasing to me and
satisfy these needs visually.

PERSONAL AND PROFESSIONAL GOALS:
Dreams, impressions, and emotional attachments emerge as a personal language in my work, an ongoing process of abstractions of self. Inspiration for the work based on personal reflection; a development of images and connections dealing with mind, body and spirit, ideas of feminine attributes, of fertility and strength, and of personal empowerment to heal oneself.
