Tax Day

No artwork yesterday since I was en-route to Lake Placid. But now that I am here, my goal is to get back on track with one artwork a day. Right now I am working on a piece but so far I am not very happy with it. I am trying different paper, dark green paper, and find that I am struggling with it. Well art is an adventure in creativity so we shall see where this "adventure" leads me. Hopefully, I will be able to post a picture I am happy with or else you will hear about the failure since we learn by failing.

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.
