My inclination is to paint using bright optimistic colors. Somewhere, deep down, I’m a Pollyanna with rose tinted glasses. The world can seem so ugly at times and, though I have had my share of disappointments, I rely on the power of art to create an object perceived as beautiful by the viewer. For someone to look at my painting and feel the beauty of this world makes me happy.
My techniques are ageless, timeless oils on canvas. Collage, using natural elements from my garden and man-made objects, is an important technique that also I utilize. I do adore my plastica sculptures, surprising myself with what they turn out to be in the process of gluing the pieces together.
Art is a visual medium and I am constantly amazed and fascinated by how the eye sees and processes the visual images of life around us. I feel privileged to be engaged in this process.
