Artist Statement
As the viewer shifts positions, the light changes, time passes, and the luster of the jewel-like copper surface fluctuates, exposing layers of image not immediately seen. The abstract and the concrete, the expected and the unexpected combine to convey a complex narrative. Mystery and secrets worked and woven with paint, nails and tacks into layers slowly revealed to the viewer. Look under the layers and perhaps you would find several paintings, with many stories. The repetitive nailing keeps me focused-grounded, linking me to the spiritual aspects of “women’s work.” The geometric arrangement of the compositional elements of my work is not unlike the free form quilts women have pieced together as part of the domestic experience for many years. Like fabric, sheets of copper, Plexiglas, paper, and antique tin are cut and collaged together, literally connecting the past with the present through the materials themselves.
From my heart I paint these landscapes, not with any preconceived imagery or drawings as they seem to just emerge in some strange intuitive manner. With this work, I challenge the notion of historical landscape painting with the combination of painted nature, and real natural processes. My landscapes present a sense of place…a place desired.
