Artist Statement

The underlying impressionist and gestural language of my art recalls the experimental club scene with trapeze, cross-dressing and costuming and Gaia’s play of light in skies and forests. Both of these obsessions beckon me toward the vibrational color palette. The sonic impression of the painting, the vibrational quality of the paint, the feel of the wood, paper and aluminum textures and all of this resonates for me to create introspective and peaceful works from the mind’s eye. This language is liquid and swimming in nature. It resonates with myths as each piece considers the drama of performance and narrative, reflecting my years working in poetry and writing, while my deep love of electronic music and circus, especially acrobatics and flow artists, and has led me to orchestrate and collaborate on interactive and dance.
