A harmonious form of texture and color, my compositions balance nature and the ethereal, mixing realism and abstraction. My most recent abstract mountain rock series was painted on site at the Chama River in Abiquiú, New Mexico and plein air in Boulder, Colorado.
The vibrant colors cast by the formations of the light on the rocks suggest the depths of human emotions that resonate inside of everyone, and radiate outwards transforming our environments and the ways in which we are taught to perceive them.
Being able to layer with a palette knife lends a certain depth to the unique combinations of brilliant colors in my subjects and I am able to capture emotive expressions with subtle gestures. Layers in acrylic dry quickly which allows me to create my work on intuitive impulse when I am feeling centered and in the moment.
I have studied at DeCordova, Cambridge Center for Adult Education, Concord Art Association, with Brigitte Cheyrou in Provence, the Lexington Arts and Crafts Society and with Lael Har in Boulder.
