The Greenpoint Gallery

What a great evening last night. I was able to exhibit three pieces in The Greenpoint Gallery Group show. The works were hung salon style and my pieces were in a great spot.

The Greenpoint Gallery is an awesome space and I was thrilled to be a part of their show. The evening was filled with good music and wonderful art. The experience was what I always imagined an exhibit to be like. Unlike other places I have exhibited at (there are not many) this exhibit was not pretentious. It was truly just fabulous art...each piece elicited a reaction (good, bad, otherwise) but nothing about it was stuffy or just more of the same, if you know what I mean.

I hope to be part of future exhibits and the trek to Brooklyn, not so bad.

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.
