About The Artwork

The ancient regard of a woman to a goddess is very close to the surface in this body of work. This series is influenced by ancient vessels which were worshipped in past cultures as goddesses. Urn shapes in my art are referenced from pottery of the Greek, Mineon & Mycenaean ages. I revisit early pottery images and convert these forms into modern day statements. In this piece, goddess myths are juxtaposed against present day female imagery. This is the most abstract of the three mono print vessel images included on the Saatchi site. This vessel form models a woman's shape and the embossed subtle lips provide the perfect "goddess" statement. The urn/vessel shape echoes various linear outlines and frontal forms of a woman’s shape. Empty space inside the vessel exhibits a similar relationship to the empty space inside a woman’s womb. Thus, my images of urns and vessels transform into metaphors for the female figure. Inviting textural surfaces, strong brown and white contrasts and a white, raised lip imprint makes this mono print "Lady Smooch" a commanding art form. “Lady Smooch” mono-print original art is available as a print from 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.
