Pumpkins

Yesterday was a very productive painting day. Five new hand painted cards celebrating Autumn. They were so much fun to do. It is goo

d to break out of my normal subject matter. But I was lucky enough to create a commissioned piece which I will post in early October if I can get a better picture of it. Somedays I think I am getting better at taking pictures and then other days I think I am getting worse. Oh, well...

So today I was in NYC, near the United Nations. I had an interview that I am very excited about. Hopefully, everything will work out and I'll have a 5-6 month temporary position. Fingers are crossed.

Well, that is all for now. Happy creating!

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.
