About The Artwork
We visited several Caribbean islands over the years. Aside from bird watching, we spent significant stretches of time sitting on our deck reading and gazing at the water. Sailboats were almost always to be seen. This scene shows the frenzy in the water as evening approaches over the horizon. The two moons represent the magical quality of the transition to night. The painting is a woven watercolor made from two very similar pictures of the same scene; one was cut up horizontally and the other vertically. Then they were woven together. The white edges emphasized the bouncing light on the water. This was an early attempt at that technique. I was quite pleased with it and went on to use it in other work.

Native New Yorker My work is usually watercolors. In recent years I’ve used several techniques that involve cutting up my paintings and rearranging the elements. I’ve made them as woven pictures or as mosaics or strip collages. My goal is to catch the bounce and movement of light. I haven’t had commercial training. After I graduated from college I worked as a designer in a firm that made silk fabrics. When I had my first child I moved on to free lance illustration. My work came from Art directors who wanted pictures that looked more painterly. I did magazine illustrations, book jackets and pharmaceutical promotion. Between assignments and promoting my work, I was always I was painting.
