ARTIST STATEMENT
Almost three years
ago, in 2003, my husband, daughter and I moved to North Kingstown,
Rhode Island from Baltimore - pregnant with our second child.
We left behind sixteen years
of familiar surroundings, friends, support, cliental, creative
vendors and galleries. As a graduate
of the Maryland Institute College of Art, it was invaluable to
have that resource so close at hand.
After four years
of artistic pause, with the exception of drawing and painting
with my children and
teaching from my home based studio, I realize now how much my
own imagery has been neglected.
Suddenly, I am flying in my dreams again.
My work is a fusion
of design, abstraction, theatre, costumes, circus and the figure
- whether human,
animal, or a combination of both. Each piece is a captured moment
in a strange performance. The
spectator is left to contemplate what expression the character
or characters are wearing and why.
Communicating through
art is a process of working and reworking all areas of the surface.
I repaint,
erase, redraw and reorganize spaces and figures, often only partially
erasing old attempts. It is
important that the layers of texture, color and paint hold the
onlooker's eye; allowing for delicious
exploration.

By far, my best
and greatest creations are my two beautiful children -
Skyla & Desi !!!!!!!!!!! They are a full time creative experience!
