| As I travel along this chosen road I feel the bonds of the past loosening and the possibilities of what can be are spread before me in wild, colorful disarray. I have only to reach out and embrace the choices I have made ~ thankful for the chance I've been given to recreate a life for myself. I am a living rainbow. |

Women, flowers, and nature - the seemingly unrelated objects of my
attention for more than twenty-five years of painting. The seamless
flow of one beautiful thing into another beautiful thing in a continuum
that makes perfect sense to me.
Woman as ethereal goddess, flowers as iconic subjects, and paintings
of insects and animals that have come from my direct experience of
the natural world - although they might be rendered with the
dreamlike qualities of the slumbering mind.
My life has always been about the visual. Quiet observation taught
me what I needed to know about rendering my subjects as I
understood them. That sense has only grown stronger over the years
as I explore my inner reality and the workings of my imagination,
combined with my life experience. No grand ambition, just the need
to be and do.
Fluid washes, and intense coloration with a surrealist feel are the
hallmarks of my work. Abstractions of these subjects tell allegorical
tales, and chart my path as an artist and a woman. My fundamental
truth holds space for the creative process, and my passion for life is
revealed in every brush stroke.
The journey continues, and I do not know where it will lead. I only
know the imperative of putting paint to paper in this solitary pursuit
to lend credence to the imagery of a soul’s dance.
