ARTIST'S STATEMENT
I PAINT BECAUSE I CANNOT STOP. FOR ME, IT IS A CONSTANT SOURCE OF JOY AND SELF SATISFACTION. IT IS BOTH MENTALLY CHALLENGING, VISUALLY STIMULATING, AND EMOTIONALLY ENGAGING. I PREFER TO ENHANCE AND EXAGGERATE WHAT I SEE RATHER THAN REPORT DETAILED REALISM. GOODKNOWLEDGE OF DESIGN, VARIETY OF SHAPES, VALUE PATTERNS, AND FREQUENT COLOR SHIFTS ARE FOREMOST IN MY MIND. I AM BEST KNOWN FOR MY VIBRANT USE OF COLOR. I DECIDE UPON A POINT OF VIEW WHICH IS USUALLY ONE FROM A CLOSE VANTAGE POINT. WATERMEDIA ALLOWS ME TO ACHIEVE TRANSPARENCY AS WELL AS MORE OPAQUE VELVET-LIKE TEXTURES. MY WORK IS CONSTANTLY CHANGING AS I AM EXPOSED TO NEW IDEAS, METHODS, AND MATERIALS. I LOVE TEACHING AND SHARING THE JOYS OF WATERMEDIA WITH MY STUDENTS, FELLOW ARTISTS, AND FRIENDS. MY LIFE IS FULFILLED THROUGH THE LOVE OF MY HUSBAND, DAUGHTERS, FAMILY, FRIENDS, AND THE ART THAT I CREATE. |
