The Artist and Her Work

In addition to paint, I have worked in several different mediums including clay and metal,  Whatever materials I have used, there is a strong visual connection amongst all the work.  Collectively they have the presence of movement and mark making as well as layering and repetition.  These visual devices that I use in my paintings are a means of exploration and celebration of life's little moments. It's the overlooked that is in plain sight that is the essence of my artwork.  Architectural details, common objects and natural elements are some of the components that are frequently illuminated in the paintings.

My work is a consummate product of my environment yet universal in its appearance.  As a Los Angeles native who lived in Morocco for many years, and currently spends time in LA and in my new home in New Mexico, gardens, furnishings and the natural landscape are some of the recurring themes I use. They continue to exert new energy into my visual language that is dictated by a complex yet delicate melange of color and chaos. My work has sometimes been referred to as being slyly beautiful.
