About Me
My background
I began painting in 1996. My background is in fashion and costume design, theatre, dance, and interior design. My abstract art incorporates references to the natural world, in the tradition of contemporary art.
Artist Statement
I turned to abstraction after many years of painting landscapes. My process is somatic, not intellectual -- I make marks on my support, then respond to those in conversation with my materials. I have continued that practice with series that focus on the basic elements of life: air, water, earth, shelter, and plants. I love experimenting with different surface textures -- from smooth wood panel to very coarse-grained linen. Freeing myself from the horizon-line has forced me to paint with greater emotion, and use color more freely.
