Artist's Statement:
My work is a pictorial diary of whom and what I see and the space in which I live. I start with a thought, an image or a model. It always changes. It is a process of problem solving. One stage leads me on to the next. It is part thought out and intellectualized - it is part pure expressionism. I paint and print on papers that are sensuous to touch and allow me to rip, tear and rearrange images. I make collages with prints, paintings, drawings and photographs. I work with materials that allow for energetic marks - thick paints, pastels, charcoal, oil sticks, spatulas, big brushes - and, most important, color. The layers and juxtaposition of image and color is what my work is about. To me, the excitement comes with the discovery of a new level of expression of experience, where the image, the color, the mark and the idea fuse into one, creating a new completeness.
