I see my work as a continuing conversation between the person who sees
my work and the images that appear as I apply the paint in a playful
manner. Using mixed water media, I focus on color and texture from a
variety of sources. I just reach out and use whatever is at hand, mostly
watercolor and acrylics but sometimes crayons, stamps or extra bits
of paper or fabric. I never know where I may end up. Remembered scenes
or personal images often influence my finished painting. As I attempt
to vary the surface, which may be paper, canvas or anything else I might
fancy, I play until I develop a relationship with the appearing images.
I may see people, animals or abstract shapes. Play comes first, then
structure, and then play again. Since I can identify most readily with
women and their feelings, my recent work has been focused on the things
we all experience. I want to draw people into a world where color, texture
and ideas converge.
