Artist Statement – October, 2024
Using printed material from design magazines, I cut and arrange shapes to make studies for paintings. These are road maps for beginning a painting and give me a clear idea of structure and color before I begin to paint. Each painting has its own unique layering and details to be resolved and are in no way literal interpretations of my studies.
However, the studies have given me endless experimentation and have led to ideas I never would have thought of. It is a process and I believe in letting a painting evolve as I go and am not locked into the original concept. I have started collaging my monoprints into my paintings… and sometimes gold leaf and this is leading to a whole new direction of mixed media paintings. Most of my work is inspired by my garden and by my natural surroundings. Using plants from my garden has led to a different and newly inspired series of paintings.
My work is about transformation, connection and how things go together. Structure, texture, and color harmony are integral to my work.
