Artist's Statement
The remembered moment when a particular light and atmosphere transform the landscape inspires my work. I explore a fleeting reality where color, form, sound and smell interact. Here, I can merge the abstract with the figurative, space with the object, the mundane with the spiritual. Using the filters of time and memory as my guide, I build delicate layers of color and mark to reveal the poetry of rhythms that weave through this passage of nature and invite quiet meditation.
I begin each work to explore a moment and allow my memory to meander with time’s passing. I thrive on the ambiguity of past, present and future, and work from what seems real, knowing that all is elusive and transitory.
I work in oils as well as etching, monotype and pastels. I find the challenge of varied processes provokes and stretches my studio practice. This recent work helps me find balance in my urban life.
