About The Artwork

"Unbearable Weight" is part of my series called, “My Tribe: In our Aging World,” which addresses society’s misconceptions on growing old and raises awareness of our aging population and encourages a dialogue between the two. The heaviness of memories is sometimes too much to carry. As our bodies betray us by natural descent, we remember life in our youth. The freshness and glow of vitality of the past. We hold fast to our memories however challenging it becomes. Effervescence is very much a part of us. The painting is on a large sheet of canvas that I have pulled and frayed at the edges to loosen the fibers. The distress canvas is screwed onto a wood paneled frame that looks weathered. These treatments to the canvas and frame further strengthen the symbolism of our aging bodies. The human form dominates the canvas in size to reinforce the message I am projecting to the viewer. The message is that our aging population is growing, vital to society, and full of splendor.

I am an abstract painter expressing my work by exploring the relationship between nature and our environment. Using dialogue between the two can be my best source of inspiration. The tactility of multiple textures and building of layers, are the backbones of my pieces. The severity of the elements can age and weather and create the most interesting designs. The distressed look of patina on metal and dilapidating walls intrigues me by their abstract surfaces and patterns. These textures and layers give depth and dimension to my paintings and are common elements in all my series. I currently live and work in the Berkshires on Western Massachusetts.
