About The Artwork

I have been taking courses at Provincetown Art Association and Museum with Laura Shabott and her protegee Alana Barrett. My figurative painting is influenced by Hyman Bloom and Robert Henry, student of Hans Hoffman's.This piece depiects the human form in all of its monumentality and volume. The central figure was based on a long pose of a live model, although it is much exaggerated. I wanted to create a sense of the humor of this green nude with pasties seated partially covered by an Oriental rug photo collaged on her knees. I also wanted to create an environment for her that was surprising and jolting. The part of the Chagall picture on the upper left with the arm jutting out of the frame and intersecting with the green nude and the peeping Tom outside the window on the right seemed to conclude the scene. Then there's the falling down vase with lemons to suggest more discontinuity. It's all in fun, no moral message. I used acrylic paint and collaged charcoal figure and paper.

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.
