ARTIST’S STATEMENT
Although over the years, I have worked in many different media, today I choose to work mainly in a non-objective style, utilizing water-based, mixed media, sometimes in conjunction with collage. The creative process can begin with an idea, a word, a feeling for certain colors or textures… simply a need to create. The use of imaginative textures and veils of color, mark making, scratching, either slightly hidden or boldly displayed, lend a powerful sense of mystery and invite the viewer in. If my artwork evokes an emotion, a memory or a desire to look deeper and become involved, then I feel I have succeeded. My work is inspired by the Abstract Expressionists of the 50s, and 60s.
