Artist statement<\/p>\n
As an artist, my work is an expression of the inner life.\u00a0 I rely mostly on observation translated by my imagination into images that reflect the human experience of relating.\u00a0 This particular series speaks to the push\/pull of aloneness vs. communion.\u00a0 I am interested in the moments of solitude in which we think, dream, pray, reflect and process the world around us.\u00a0 This is in contrast with our times of togetherness where we are in fellowship with others; sharing and celebrating, encouraging and uplifting, as well as discussing and disagreeing.\u00a0 All of these are a part of our lives, and some moments give us energy while some tend to drain us.<\/p>\n
I approach my work much as children do, with a basic idea, then let the medium dictate the process.\u00a0 I am propelled by the relationship of color to light, and the reflection of light on surfaces.\u00a0 I allow color to create the atmosphere, and to personify the objects.<\/p>\n
