Artist Statement:
Art surrounds my life like a
blanket, filling my senses
with joy and giving me a place
to weep with color. Sometimes
art is a mirror of my life,
but other times it is what
remains after life filters
through my vision.
My art is about color and
light. The way light bounces
off buildings in the afternoon
sun, shadows flickering like
transforming clouds. The
colors vibrate next to each
other, the patterns of leaves
and bricks create harmony.
The wavering reflections in
windows, puddles and canals
continue to fascinate me - sky
and water become one. I have
painted flowers over and over
for 20 years, yet the pure
hues continue to blend and
dance in my watercolors like
newborns.
The silence of the ocean as I
swim below the surface
inspires me. The waves above
leave twisting shadows on the
progressing, swirling sand.
The rainbow fish darting among
the coral remind me of insects
hovering around thriving buds
as I gaze into the mystery of
the deep azure, waiting for
the turtle, manta or shark.
The breath of my soul is often
revealed through the mystical
depths of the ocean or the
burst of color on a fragrant
bloom.
