About The Artwork

The physical transformation of a single woman to a married woman has through generations been represented by the bride’s wedding dress and veil. At some point during the wedding day a moment of reflection or "inner awe" might be experienced by the bride. The bride, “A Bride's Wishes” represents this reflective moment as an image in a dream or a moment in time. Visions of fantasy float from under the bride’s dress as she joyfully steps over images of diaper pins, china patterns and mega mansions. A ruffle of lace is delicately intertwined throughout painted lace details. The stained surface canvas is a combination of light, whimsical washes, collage and richly rubbed colors which achieve a luminous effect. Layers of transparent color on color, textures of string imprints define the contrasts of figure or add atmosphere to a background. Evident throughout these bride paintings is a concern for engaging color nuances and sensuous textures. This art work is a narrative comment on contemporary women and the ceremony of marriage. The issue of female gender is explored in my bride images. Although this BRIDE series was created and exhibited years ago, the topic is still current, maybe more so today. These special images are available for print on the Saatchi site.

My art is rich with painterly textures, layers of color on color and whimsical washes. Multi-layered paintings, drawings and mono-prints are created using various mediums, including chalk pastels to chunks of vibrant acrylic paints, oil encaustics and delicate, dribbles of gold leaf.  “Nature Close-up” series and “Feminine” series are exhibited on Saatchi Art site. “Nature Closeup,” artwork blends patterns in tide-marks, colors of sea grass as well as layers of the earth to express soulful, ethereal design. Raised in the country, I have closely observed earth’s formations which has become a thematic influence in my work. Inspired by old growth forests, desert landscapes and west coast beaches, my desire is to share a visually healing meditation on environmental beauty. The beauty of the air or atmosphere around sky, water and landforms are translated into calm, reflective art works. “Feminine” artworks are represented with vividly painted manuscripts, as well as mono-prints representing modern day women. Female gender is explored from modern day women to the ancient vessels of canvases and paper art. Through out all my art work is a love of color and soulful expression.
