My Passion....
is to create images that impress, delight, puzzle or evoke any emotion besides indifference. Recycling materials, some common-place others unusual, to add texture and dimension, I throw, spray, brush, sponge and use my hands and other techniques to apply color and structure to my paintings.
The Forces of Nature.....
are my inspiration, with viewers often asking themselves, "How did she do that?" To continue to create and explore new techniques and a constantly changing repertoire of materials drives me to dive beyond the realm of normality into ever expansive domains of the heart and soul.
