Artist Statement:
My creativity is inspired by
the French Salon painters and
how they captured history,
social conscience and
architecture by painting the
people and environments
surrounding them. Using the
term I coined for a new era of
art, called “Constructionism,”
I meld familiar scenes and
transform them into
contemporary masterpieces.
This theory views art as a
construction rather than as a
transmission of artistic
teachings meaning the painter
actively experiences and
expresses themselves through
creative experimentation. The
art begins, transcends and
evolves. The majority of my
work revolves around vignettes
while other pieces focus on
the abstract. Stylistically,
the foundation of all of my
paintings is the use of
intense black lines found most
often in Fauvism. The use of
line and color also flows over
into my work on fiber whether
it is creating a batik,
shibori or hand-painted silk
piece. My work is located in
private collections from New
York and California to
Paris....
