In the studio, what becomes a painting emerges from my life experience of doings, plus paint, add in the evanescence of the moment—touch, scent, sound, sight, even taste. I make things up. I giggle and fret. I cry. I remember, and I aspire.
I believe we have the capacity to create a brighter future. Whether we do is up to all of us. Focused introspection, choices, and actions can move us all toward presence and love and balance. Keep going, every day, one step, then the next. Remember to breathe. I'm an optimist. I'm curious. I'm a doer. I'm a believer in inherent good. These days, that might just mean I'm kind of boring and nerdy—basically a focused, thoughtful, mature woman with a strong mind and a healthy positive attitude who's grateful to be able to use what she's got in this miraculous universe. My artworks are a declaration of these convictions and a record of my mercurial adventure. |
