"...I believe in the love of painting,
stepping up to the canvas, not knowing the outcome is my greatest
challenge." ...I use painting and
printmaking as a medium to translate impressions, emotions and memories
into a visual format. My mixed media work explores a variety of
techniques, primarily texture, which is influenced by my background as a
textile designer.
...I develop my work without
preconceptions, letting the paintings and prints take form from a mixture
of inner-outer dialog, observations and chance discoveries
....My work is about striving for future
knowledge, continually experimenting both conceptually and
technically. The work is as much about the materials as it is about
ideas. Using materials ranging from oil, acrylics, gesso, transfer images,
sane and collage elements, I build layer upon layer of visual information.
Certain parts become obscured by later application, others bleed through
from under paintings forming the mixed media work.
| ...I draw on a store of conscious,
unconscious, fragmented and complete visual experiences. Once
abstracted, many of these impressions merge into a vocabulary of
color, forms, lines and textures which repel and attract, overlap
and intertwine. ...There is an
intriguing thematic diversity in my work, each bearing individual
characteristics yet all supported by a convincing harmony of style.
There is imbedded in my paintings a perceptual and emotional
challenge which is left for the viewer to discover.
... In the end it is the mysterious
that I love in painting. It is the stillness and the silence. I want
my paintings to take effect very slowly, to possess, to bewitch, to
take the viewer on a journey of discovery.
