My work is a contemporary statement layered in classical elements
hidden in the unpredictability of mixed mediums. I look for detail and
watch for change. I find movement that becomes suggestion, texture, and
images that become another form. I love rainy days, dusk and tamarack
bogs…stones and cracked walls overgrown with wildflowers…water habitats
and all their varied moods. At seven my grandfather taught me the skills
of perspective drawing and how to use watercolors. My mother taught me
to sew and how to arrange flowers. They gave me an affinity for
patterns, shapes and space, fibers, and order. I feel deeply about the
sacredness of all things. I believe there is no one way. All these
things find their way into my work. I start out with a vague plan of
what images I want to draw or what mood I want to work with. The drawing
is specific. The mood is spontaneous. What comes is a collection,
pieces of ideas, gestures and metaphors. Then they start to arrange
themselves. The process becomes the direction. My work is many times
layered and often changes radically from start to finish. My search is
for the information built in the layering of what our minds discover and
what nature creates so freely. What we see appears to be clear and
identifiable and yet there is so much more detail, more perspective,
more relationship and dimension to every form.
