Home

It is so good to be home but I miss Lake Placid already! It was a great visit although not as art filled as I had hoped. But I do have one painting I am working on which I am happy about. Also, I have been thinking about the angel piece I want to do for my cousin. I am having a really tough time on that one. She likes the sketch which is a good first step :-)

My favorite little artist and I had a great visit. We did the rim walk at Ausable Chasm, had lunch at A&W, played miniature golf, went to Candyman and saw Toy Story 3...not all on the same day. The next time we do the chasm, we will bring a picnic lunch and I'll bring my sketch book since it is so beautiful.

Well that is all for now. Stay tuned for the soon to be finished painting.

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.
