Paintings

It is an honor to share my work here. I have enjoyed painting since I can remember. There is just something wonderful about touching brush to canvas - there is no feeling quite like it! I believe that I was created with a need to be a maker.

Earthen Vessesls is a series in acrylic that captured my attention for years. These are works in acrylic that explore the earthen vessesl as a metaphor for a humanity while playing with amiguity in space. Over time, I began weaving 3-Dimensional text into the composition. Hidden words.

“NEW WAYS - NEW WORK” displayed some of that long-captivating series, Earthen Vessesls, my “old ways”, so to speak. “Old” because one day, there was simply nothing more to say in the series and I could not continue. In fact, the final piece remains unfinished. Unexpected and life altering challenges called for a venture into new genres, new mediums and new ways of working. This has required trying on new methods and approaches. It is a challenge but also an adventure - even though so much of the subject matter is in my home, my yard or my neighborhood.

I find delight in the wonder of creation, the glory of light. The “new” work seeks to communicate the ways in which beauty touches my very core. It celebrates the simple things in life that we often miss - the curve of a leaf, the light that changes everything, the grace of an extended petal, the fascinating shapes and colors that surround us all. And this - all spoken with paint, canavas and brush.
