About the Artist
As a woman and an artist
I am committed to discovering and expressing
my own truth in my life and in my art, and in so doing
make a difference in the lives of others.
Art is my vehicle for transformation, my tool for self-discovery, and my medium of communication. It is my passion and my love. It is an expression of the connection between myself and the inward and outward manifestations of my higher power. It is a barometer for me of the health and status of that connection.
My freestyle knitted objects are just that -- experiments in color, texture, fiber, miscellaneous objects, shape. My more recognizable designs are also experiments, but with a somewhat more mundane function.
In my abstract paintings, an inner landscape has emerged with a common thread that seems to tie the images together despite a diversity of color, shapes, texture and scale. In my figurative works, narrative details give additional substance to the feelings and attitudes touched upon in the abstracts; feelings of power, devotion, anger, loss, pain, compassion, delight, wonder.
My prayer is that others, especially other women who are struggling to overcome their own inner demons and live fully, will be moved to greater courage and greater hope, and feel less alone in their struggles and triumphs because of what I have shared of mine.
Thanks for dropping by.
