Artist
Statement
Making
art is a contemplative vehicle for accessing my inner life
and its connection to something greater. My paintings explore
the dynamics of form, line and space through the meeting of
earth, sky and water. I'm also drawn to playing with the interaction
of these elements as abstractions. Through a process of expression
and reduction, I hope to evoke the essence of that which
moves me.

Bio
Born
in 1956, I lived in Minnesota until my teens, then moved to
the East Coast before settling in New Mexico in 1990. As an
undergraduate my favorite class was studio art. However, I
chose to venture into the health sciences, and enjoyed
the nurse practitioner profession for many years. Eventually
I felt compelled to return to my love of making art, which
continues to this day.
My
husband and our two daughters are artists. Their creativity is
an ongoing inspiration for me. We live in the foothills of
Santa Fe and sometimes on a small island in Maine. |
