ARTIST’S STATEMENT
My style of painting, drawing, and printmaking originated from my exciting formal training at The Maryland Institute, College of Art. I was awarded the Jules Bodarky and the E. A. Navaretta Scholarships and went to London, England to study for two trimesters. While there I visited all the great Museums in London and traveled to Paris and Amsterdam to see many museums there. I then earned my Master’s degree from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago. I became a Registered Art Therapist and worked as an art therapist with the criminally insane for about six years after this. All of these experiences contributed to my selection of imagery and style of work.
The most fascinating class I took at The Maryland Institute, College of Art was Scientific Readings, where I studied about the endless possibilities of the universe and beyond. Since then I have been interested in Quantum Physics and the String Theory. I am constantly aware that the time we spend here in this reality is very, very brief in relation to the time of everything else. My paintings and drawings tend to either play on this cyclical, never ending time loop (Dancing Through Time and Evolution2), or the ludicrous behaviors of humans as they focus on everything that won’t mean a darned thing after we leave this reality….like money and material things and power and greed (The Key to a Good Society and The Bureaucrat). Sometimes it all becomes a bit overwhelming for me and I am sad (Blue Nude Crying) because I realize that as long as there is power and greed, we cannot evolve to our potentials as humans.
I continue to explore the unconscious and to go where no woman has gone before while maintaining an acceptable level of sanity.
