Artist’s Statement:

 

“The art of painting is expression by way of images. It is subjective and subversive, closer to poetry than to prose, in that it works from the inside out, producing in the viewer a state, rather than making a statement to him. The artist communicates by expressing what moves her internally, but in a sense her intimate thoughts and feelings are never fully brought to the surface. They are transmitted rather, via ambiguous personal imagery, at a subconscious level in both artist and viewer. The artist can never really be sure of what she has said, much less of how she will be interpreted.

I work on a painting until it speaks to me, then I am confident that it will speak to others.”
