ARTIST’S
STATEMENT
I
am a multi-media artist and paint in a post-modernist style.
Painting is my form of expression about life around me, embracing
both the physical and psychological. I love people, our planet,
nature and the simple things of life. Experimenting with the
endless number of materials available to use is challenging.
Ideas are nonstop. Creativity continues into the sleeping
hours. Painting is my way of describing our present day culture
in all its many different forms.
I
am a mother of 5 children and my continuing theme "Save
the Family" is inspired by my strong feelings for the
need to keep a cohesive family unit. Having lived in England,
Canada, Brazil and now, in Florida in the United States, I
have a wide variety of subjects to paint. I aim to make you
think, question and perhaps, discover something meaningful
through my paintings.
I
also work in collaboration with Courtney Smith a choreographer
and dancer and Karen Lewis a poet.
My
love is abstraction and impressionism, through which I try
to create the intangible. By using these forms of expression,
I feel I best address my subject whether I choose to paint
things out of proportion, or to use color, to portray feelings
that stimulate interest, I aim high and stretch to achieve
the unknown. Painting is a constant learning proces.
