Artist Statement

For many years, the focus of my painting has been to depict the ethereal, mystical images from my dreams and imagination, combined with ancient, historical ideas. I have developed a personal language of a combination of self-created and historical symbols and forms that are intended to convey expressions of women’s sensuality, independence, and creativity, placing figures and other-worldly creatures in a dreamlike, surrealistic state.
I use Abstract Figurative human shapes and what I call “Elemental”, or surreal magical beings. Backgrounds and environments undulate with movement, depicting unanchored space with color & form. As if in a dream, backgrounds convey a sense of floating or flying, one shape layered over another, dividing space, often emphasizing one figure by hard cropping the composition to force attention.
Recent work experiments with ideas about time, celestial bodies, physics, enigmatic beings, and the veil between worlds.
