Artist Statement:
Although I am interested in
many things, I am greatly
inspired by science, nature,
books, music, skyscrapers,
artists and people. With that
said, the creative process for
my work usually begins with
one of the following
situations: a visual image
persisting over time, an idea
compelling me to act by
researching the idea, a dream,
a significant event or
defining "ah-ha" moment. All
of these situations compel me
to give them physical form and
color. Painting, for me, is a
love affair with color,
alchemy, texture and fluidity,
it’s boldness and subtleties,
it’s ability to place one in a
contemplative, sad or excited
mood, and it’s infinite uses.
With a former professional
background in critical care
nursing, scientific and
medical knowledge combined
with extensive clinical
experiences serve as a rich
pool of imagery, creativity,
and thought for my work. My
academic studies include an RN
from Muhlenberg School of
Nursing, and an MPA from
Rutgers University.
