Artist's
Statement
A San
Francisco native, I have always been surrounded by incredible natural
beauty and have had an ongoing interest in storytelling, mythology and
archetypes. I enjoy painting the landscape and the human form. I begin
my artwork in abstraction, very spontaneously, letting layers of color
and line build up.
Often my art
becomes a dreamscape with elements of both that come together, catching
a moment in a story, such as a journey, discovery, communion with
nature, ecstatic states, or prayer. Lines and colors connect the forms
depicting the connectedness between all things. I love brilliant color
and use layers of gels, washes and pastels to create texture and line.
In addition,
she welcomes visitors to her Sausalito studio through out the year by
appointment. Twice a year the Artists Open Studios in the ICB Building
are open to the public during the Marin Council Spring Art Fair, and the
ICB Building Winter Open Studios. The dates are available on both this
site and my web site.
