Artist Statement:
I dance when I paint and the canvas is my partner. It's all about rhythm, motion, balance and harmony. Like a dancer I center myself, address my partner and begin the dance. Sometimes I lead and sometimes I follow. Sometimes we dance outside, under the sky, frolicking in the meadows and along rivers. Other times we dance quietly with romantic music playing a familiar tune.
Mark making is an important aspect of my work. For several years I started each day making a single mark on a large piece of paper. I have incorporated this practice into my paintings; if one mark is an idea then many marks convey more ideas or stories.
I love to manipulate space using text, inventive form and assertive color.
