My abstract work is inspired by impressionist studies of things of the natural world. A Moment in Time was born of a very simple study of grass, titled Quiescent. I’ve always been a flower gardener and taken a great deal of pride in my gardens. However one thing that’s always baffled me was the fact that my garden always looked so much better right after my husband mowed the grass. So I began to take more notice of grass and its simple beauty. I’ve done several studies and paintings of grass. I love all the colors, the way it moves with the wind and the secret world it conceals in its depths. As I worked on the study Quiescent, I was moved by the fact that even though new grass is fresh, beautiful and vibrant, without the older and even spent blades, the new grass wouldn’t be as healthy and would visually lack depth and richness. A Moment in Time tells the full story of our human journey, from birth and youth, to middle age and finally our end. It goes by so quickly... almost in an instant. We don’t even notice how quickly until we’re reaching the middle and sometimes nearing the end of it. One of the lessons nature teaches us with grass and all living things is this: While our youth is fresh and beautiful and full of hope, the richness, wisdom and memories we gain during the course of our lives is what is most valuable. Every new generation is enriched and instructed by the earlier ones. This is an important and beautiful responsibility. It should not be taken lightly by those who are older or disrespected by those who are younger. Each panel of this triptych is wired individually and measures 15"x 33"x 1.5". They will ship together in one box and will be accompanied by a certificate of authenticity.

There are times when I decide what I want to paint and there are times when a thing, person or event tells me I need to paint it. In all of these instances, I’m moved, either positively or negatively by something or someone I’ve encountered in my daily routine. In my effort to put my encounter in perspective, I escape to nature. That involves simply walking out my back door or making a trip to the Grand Canyon. Fortunately, walking out the back door usually does the trick. Because it’s not grand landscapes that speak to me as much as it is the minutia. Those things and happenings in the natural world that oftentimes go unnoticed or are simply not seen with the eye. We as humans, forget we are of nature. So many of humanity’s problems are solved every day in the natural world. Or they never occur in the first place because of the efficiencies of nature and the natural respect found there. I am moved and inspired by every little thing and occurrence in the natural world. From the way all the needles on the giant, columnar white pine in our backyard move as one in the winter wind, to the way fast-moving water in a shallow stream hides everything beneath it. Just in these two examples, there are so many lessons for humans, and so many paintings. My medium, style and technique are the perfect tools or partners for me to express the similarities between nature and humanity. When I begin a painting, I always have at least a vague idea of what I want to happen on the canvas, but every time without fail, nature is a contributor. The paint and the surface “play” and make changes of their own. Sometimes I’ll see something unplanned but extraordinary happening and I’ll encourage the play to continue or I’ll see it needs to stop overworking itself and bring the play to an end. In all cases, the medium, surface and I are co-creators of the work. The partnership I feel with the natural world around me extends into the work itself. I consider the work a kind of translation. With each piece I try to express some part of a lesson I’ve learned or realized from the natural world around me. The lessons are there for all of us, every day. Sometimes we just need a little help or encouragement to hear and see them.
