I am
committed to the discovery and application of natural and discarded
materials into integrated expressions of my life as an artist. I
hope to increase the visual awareness of beauty found in every day
living -- cracks in sidewalks, torn paper, leaves in a puddle.
In my work, I have explored the beauty of discarded
materials, the play of one color upon another and reconstruction of
disassembled forms in abstract painting. With my work, I
encourage viewers to derive their own meaning in looking at art.
In 1992 and 1993, I participated in a number of
artist retreats outside the United States where I was able to integrate
local materials, colors and rhythms into my work. Each of these
retreats provided for me the community and creative space to inspire me
in my work.
Art can elevate the emotional textures of life and
increase one's consciousness. My desire is that I have conveyed
what I have found and inspire others to find beauty in discarded
materials.
