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.
