ARTIST'S STATEMENT
|
My current series of work is as much about the process as it is about the end product.
The titles are born with each painting. My work evolves out of feelings I have about
being an artist and a mother. When each painting is finished, it somehow visually
represents for me the thoughts I was having as I created it. Who I am as an artist
is always changing for me. I just try to stay focused and true and let everything
else come as it will.

My paintings are made up of modeling paste and acrylic paint on hard board. I work in
layers with various tools and then I rework the paintings with brushes, rags and my fingers.
I use these materials and this technique because it feels good to have a defined process.
I like to develop my work in stages and come back to it another day and time.
As in life, in art, it is good to sit on something for a while before making any final decisions.
Coming to the end of a painting makes me feel that I have brought closure to the issue that was on
my mind at the time.
