Why paint? Why create?
Why breathe? It's as simple as that. Years of working and raising a family
have given way to a tremendous energy that drives me to create -- paintings,
collages, photography, silk shibori, pottery.
Years of catholic school did nothing to release these creative energies, just a
strong desire to achieve and excel, a good quality to have as an artist. It
wasn't until I was fooling around with watercolors with my children that the little
gray cells began churning. The aha! moment arrived. Since then -- over 20
years -- I have delved and explored various mediums and techniques. And
I'm still following that journey today.
What inspires me?
Light and color, textures, old cement walls, rusted car bumpers, the
Connecticut River and the beaches of New England, the way the light sifts
slowly through the branches in my garden, a sunset, a sunrise, even the
cracks and fissures in the roads I walk.
Over the years I have studied with Carol Odel, Brian Colbath, Yuri Adams,
Diane Gorrick, Joyce Silverstone, Gaynell Meij and Wesleyan Potters. I
continue to take intensive workshops to keep my eye fresh and receptive.
