Artist's Statement
A
San Francisco native, I have always been surrounded by incredible natural
beauty and have had an ongoing interest in storytelling, mythology and
archetypes. I enjoy painting the landscape and the human form. I begin my
artwork in abstraction, very spontaneously, letting layers of color and line
build up.
Often my art becomes a dreamscape with elements of both that come together,
catching a moment in a story, such as a journey, discovery, communion with
nature, ecstatic states, or prayer. Lines and colors connect the forms
depicting the connectedness between all things. I love brilliant color and
use layers of gels, washes and pastels to create texture and line.
In
addition, she welcomes visitors to her Sausalito studio through out the year
by appointment. Twice a year the Artists Open Studios in the ICB Building
are open to the public during the Marin Council Spring Art Fair, and the ICB
Building Winter Open Studios. The dates are available on both this site and
my web site.
