Sunday

Well, it was a beautiful Sunday. I didn't get much done in the way of art but the sunshine definitely fed my soul. Tomorrow will be a good art day since I am headed to Garrison for a life drawing class. I am so excited to work with an actual model. It will make an incredible difference in my work.

I did do a great sketch while sitting outside today and I am excited to get in the studio and paint it out. If all goes well Tuesday will be a good studio day.

Have a great week.

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.
