In 2008 I completed a year long detour away from painting into making an imaginary set of playing cards, printed from carved blocks as in the style of early German uncut card sheets. I finally returned to the project this year, to actually publish the original images as a playing card deck. I wanted a design for the back of the cards that encompassed the various conceptual aspects of the cards: human diversity, delight in food and specifically the four suits, and a notable absence of the power hierarchy present in conventional face cards. So I sat down and this one image poured forth intact, no revisions and looking just right to me. I brought it to my treasured framer, a former gallerist with great taste, and she put together a package that beautifully highlights the spontaneous nature of the piece.

The motives underlying all my paintings are both current and timeless: our common need for sustenance, beauty, and grace. Humans have not changed dramatically since we first appeared and I look for threads of continuity, aiming to make imagery that’s rooted in the mythic, the mystic, and the cycles of Nature. Paintings of vessels, birds, plant life, and human figures are cast as aspects of an elusive yet inviting sanctuary. Frequently the images are rooted in the remnants of ancient cultures, both tangible and oral, but they are always responding to our current world as well. Concurrent with my professional art practice, soon after completing a dual major in fine art and philosophy, I was also an organic farmer from 1988-2017 largely occupied with goats and with effecting alchemical transformations of milk and plants. Those decades of raw, ever-precarious, thoughtful farm experience resonate throughout the artwork, testifying to the cycles & perils of life for all sentient beings, humans included.
