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.

2006

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

Previous places of exhibit include: Block Island, RI, North Kingstown,
Rhode Island, Soho New York, Westchester NY, Washington DC and
Baltimore, MD.   I continue to take commissions for detailed
architectural renderings for Realtors and Homeowners.
