Artist Statement:
Why do I paint?
Sometimes I wonder about that.
It's very expensive and when
you're living on a limited
income, it almost feels like
insanity.
From the time I was a young
girl I've had a fetish toward
blank sheets of paper. Every
year when summer was over and
it was time to go back to
school and I'd get a new
tablet with all of those
fresh, white pages to fill I
would get excited. And each
time I was handed a blank
sheet of paper in art class it
was as if I were being handed
the keys to the world.
Ah,....... the challenge!!
Ah,...... the colors!!
Ah,.......the paints! the
crayons!! the pens!!! the
pencils!!! It is as exciting
to me now as it was back then.
When I'm inspired to work on a
particular painting, I look at
the colors first. The amount
and variations of colors found
in a typical photograph or
scenery never cease to amaze
me. If you look hard enough
you can find every color of
the rainbow in just about
every thing you see. They are
subtle and you have to look
hard to see them...
