Artist Statement:
The focus of my painting for many years has been to depict the ethereal, mystical images from my dreams, and give form to elemental, unexplained forces. I have developed a personal visual language, including a combination of self-created and historical symbols and forms that convey expressions re: women's spirituality, sensuality, independence, and creativity, placing figures and other-worldly creatures in a dreamlike, surrealistic state.
I use Abstract Figurative human shapes and elemental, or surreal magical beings. Backgrounds and environments undulate with movement, depicting unanchored space with color and form. As if in a dream, backgrounds convey a sense of floating or flying, one shape layered over another to create space, often emphasizing one figure by cropping edges tightly.
A recent series of paintings experiments with ideas combining ancient map motifs and my contemporary metaphysical concepts about time, celestial bodies, physics, enigmatic beings, magic, and the historical veil between worlds.
