Artist Statement
... experiences that happen along the way!
I am fascinated by the graphic impact of light, shadow and color patterns
that happen in nature during the day and seasons. Inspired by images I
encounter in the Delaware Valley and beyond, I often work with washes of
transparent color to enrich my paintings, the way that nature creates washes
of natural and reflected color. The experimental nature of water media, allows
my creative spirit to be constantly enlightened in discovering the wonderful
experiences that happen along the way!
With degrees in Studio Art from Douglass College of Rutgers University and
in Graphic Design from Tyler School of Art, my paintings have evolved from
work in oil and water media as well as printmaking in silkscreen and lithography.
The graphic quality of a subject, together with the color, value and textures, are
especially exciting when working on images found in nature. I enjoy painting these
subjects both in plein air and in my studio. When I am painting, or considering
a subject, I am always drawing on my creative history to express the beauty and
unique quality of the image, both realistically and graphically.
