ARTIST STATEMENT
My work is a result of the search to interpret the inspiration that constantly surrounds me. I do not limit myself to only one medium or concept. Each artwork I create is an extension of my past, my present, or a peek into my future hopes and dreams. As an artist, I am essentially interested in creating works that call for the participation of the audience to the same extent as my involvement in their creation. My small oils and pastels incorporate memories of my mother’s and father’s gardens at my childhood home, along with inspiration from my own gardens, and my love of the natural landscape.
My oil and cold wax abstracts mirror the personal growth that we experience during our lives. As in life, control over this medium is an illusion, I add and subtract layers. I integrate unplanned developments into my pieces. The push and pull of light vs dark, big shapes vs small shapes, gestural lines against geometric shapes, all work in harmony. Surrendering to this process is where the real creativity resides.
