Artist’s Statement

My world of watercolor and now mixed media too, of color and illusion, of transparency and translucence, the vibrancy of subtle or intense color, of elusive and amorphous form – all of this is so exciting to me that I feel as a child with a glorious project. This child within is busy creating something wondrous, chattering to herself about what’s going on in there, putting in more or taking out some, creating color against color with a concert of small tunes and single notes, a fugue of balanced and counterbalanced tones and colors.

If that sounds rather esoteric, I am comparing it to carving stone, which I have done for 30 years. Stone sculpting is heavy, hard labor involving great time and effort to produce one piece of work. By comparison, painting is a lark, a birdsong in the morning light that brings a startle of joy. Every day that I paint is my favorite day of the week. Everything I paint brings a surprise of what that thought or scene reveals.

Personal Statement

I have lived many lives, many places, including Manhattan, Vermont, Florida, Italy, Libya, Texas, Oklahoma, California, North Carolina, New York state, Santa Fe, New Mexico, Connecticut, Fairfield, California – and Cincinnati, where I grew up. From each place I have absorbed a portion of the culture and color, a reference point for future remembrance and my painting reflects that esoteric background.

Storms and skies are a window of mood and space to which my Aquarian self responds with great familiarity, mountains are part of my being, desert has captured my heart, ocean has the same spatial qualities as sky: endless. The greens and grays of eastern forests, with yellow light shining through is a reflection of former days. The reds and earthy browns, the dense greens and intense sunlight and shadow are my favorite subject, a vision of mountains and desert..
