Happy Birthday Party

No art today since my favorite little artist and I threw a surprise party for her dad. It was a fun day filled with preparations and trying to keep it a secret. My little artist did a good job but being 4 her idea of a secret is not really secret. But it was fun all the same. I am looking forward to an art filled day tomorrow...maybe up to Garrison for a life drawing class and most definitely to Brooklyn to pick my paintings. I was hoping for a sale but maybe next time...

Artist Statement

My work is a celebration of nature and women, specifically woman as mother. The female figure is a powerful one and dominates most of my works. Even the pieces reflecting trees are a tribute to the power of women signifying Mother Nature. Both are strong and feed my creative energy.

The pieces are abstract in design with a focus on form, movement and color. This is infused into my work, no matter what medium is used. The favored mediums are acrylic, pastel and oil. Each gives a different outcome and dimension to the piece. Pastels give a soft feel while acrylics give a strong, vibrant feel and oils allow for texture and movement.

The creative process remains the same regardless of the medium used or the subject matter chosen. Each piece starts out as a sketch that has been inspired by nature or life. It is developed and fine tuned before it is recreated in color.
