Although my paintings are representational,
they are often not literal translations of their
subject matter. The subject can also be a
metaphor for an emotion or memory from
my own particular and distinctive experience
as a woman -
wife, mother as well as painter.
I try to create a language of visual elements
that communicates through the use of form, color,
paint, quality and edges. Each painting is a
dialogue of light and shadow, cool and warm,
and near and far away. As an artist, I use all
of these tools to interpret an idea. I enjoy exploring techniques that allow the paint or medium to have an uncontrolled life of its own. Sometimes the
paint is left dripping and sometimes it is applied
in a rich impasto. I paint primarily in oil because
of its great flexibility but am working in all
mediums, mostly on paper.
