Artist Statement/Bio:
I call myself an ’abstract naturalist’. I am mainly a painter. Most of my paintings are oil on canvas, colored pencil, pastels, or acrylics. My work is figurative or organic in subject matter. It is decorative, rich in color and strong in composition. I love to capture close up views, unusual angles or larger than life views of the subject matter. Using bright colors conveys an attitude of lightness, maybe even a smile now and then. The act of actually putting paint on a surface is truly an act of joy for me. My end goal is to ‘fill a space in a beautiful way’ as in a statement made by Georgia O’Keefe.
My work could be described as 'abstract naturalist or realistic color field' Most of my work is done in my studio at the Stutz or my home studio. Lately my works are mainly acrylic washes and ink on paper. I have participated in many local and regional juried shows. I mainly display my work in local restaurants, shops, churches, small business, libraries, and art fairs. I have sold work to patrons in 10 different states as far away as California. I show in local restaurants, libraries, and business. I encourage and participate in the growth of the local art community."
