Statement, November, 2006

 

 

“Prior to painting I was a tapestry weaver and patterns continue to show

up in my work. The paintings always start out as loose pencil or watercolor sketches. They are then translated into my memories of landscapes and

other organic layers and shapes.

The structure, layering, brushwork and mood are as important as color to

create a feeling. I try to develop a look that has enough body but is not overtly sentimental. I also like to juxtapose perspective and directions.

I work toward an expressive and non-literal natural world which is painted in and painted out, exploring forms and structure to arrive at a cohesive whole.”
