My figurative painting looks to painters like Edvard Munch whose The Scream has affected viewers for so long. Hyman Bloom's work has also called to me.This painting was inspired by one of the poses a male model used in a life drawing workshop. The pose conveyed a sadness, a reaching out toward something that spoke to me of the pain many have to endure during the pandemic. His hands are depicted in a distorted way to suggest how distorted our lives have become in the past year. I hope it will encourage people to find just one person to help. I drew the figure with charcoal on paper and collaged onto plywood, then painted with acrylic. The starkness of the painting reflects my sense of the suffering of some of our people.

Making art is an encore career for me. Years ago when I hosted a community access TV show called “Alivelihood:New Adventures As We Age,” I interviewed an artist who had been a German professor. She invited me to her art studio. I loved painting and collaging with her immediately and never stopped painting. Soon I discovered the ancient , now popular medium of encaustic, hot pigmented wax, and was enraptured with the possibilities. I studied with many sterling artists learning to make mono prints and paintings with the wax and a torch to burn each layer to the one beneath. I attended workshops at the International Encaustic Conference in Provincetown each spring. Next, I added acrylic and mixed media to my repertoire. My most recent paintings are created with oil mixed with cold wax and sometimes a medium to increase flow and transparency. The subject matter that intrigues me lately is painting the abstracted, distorted human figure, often with backgrounds depicting a fantasy room or landscape. My life outside of art encompasses many wonderful things: living in the country in Massachusetts with my husband of 40+ years and 2 adorable rescue dogs from Mexico, dancing Argentinian tango and studying with one of the world's most accomplished teachers, still riding my horse a little bit, wintering in San Miguel de Allende, MX to name a few.
