I was thinking about anvils triangles and tables and how would they look together and decided this is what it would look like. These Geometric Cluster Paintings several are based on drawings I do over and over until I paint it on a canvas. This is one of those ideas it is the form and the function of the design. I try to make them look as if they have weight as if they are heavy like the object they resemble.

This piece was an exercise in experimentation for me. While most of my work has very flows, intuitive strokes and scribbles, this piece has very intentional marks and shapes. Though the imagery is simple and geometric, there is still a lot of texture and depth within the colors and paint mediums used. This was painted as an antidote to grey, dreary wintertime. It’s reminiscent of a tropical, warm citrus grove.

My process is multi-faceted including quilting, sewing, painting, dying, gluing, stitching and more; creating layered compositions often stretched as paintings, built up on panels, or installed as hanging quilts.

The portrait of this iconic Crayola Crayon seen in red, also contains a bit of a narrative. It’s been used, but still quite serviceable. For me, it all started with crayons. I loved the fragrance of a freshly opened box, and the possibilities were endless. Drawing with Crayola’s eventually led me to oil paints, the medium in which this painting has been created.

I am touched by glorious landscapes that teach us: there is a chance of non-separation, to be completed and humbled, to experience genesis and rebirth. It is here that I stumble upon an exterior landscape that mirrors my interior wilderness that I bring along with me, alluring and alarming.

This piece is about the act of creation and the beginning of all things. It could be argued that creation is the ultimate womanly abilities, the most obvious being the birthing of humans.
