ARTIST STATEMENT
|
| |
My interests range over diverse categories of subject matter. I choose to
pursue a variety of ways of working, although it may appear that I have
multiple personalities. The intellectual/feminist part of myself explores
gender roles as reflected in family photographs and art historical imagery. I also explore dreams and memory. The images are less
particularized and the exact meaning unknown. The reappearance of
archways, stairs and mists intrigues me. A third part of
myself is a lover of the light and color of landscape. I have painted over
600 views from my studio windows and my travels in Italy during the last 7
years. I resist the notion that this may be an outdated Modernist approach
to artmaking and follow my heart.
