Artist Statement-2007
It is my interest in travel that is reflected in paintings even though images may be abstract as well as literal. My concern is with surface textures as well, therefore I often add mixed media of papers or fabric to the composition. When I deal with the figure, they are female in form, often distorted and multi-colored. As a woman artist, I also feel my art reflects several concerns: the feminine mystique, passion, and beauty-the last of which, beauty is a necessary addition to the society we live in as we all are confronted with an overload of painful images via television and the news.
