I respond to what catches my eyes and heart using colors, shapes and lines. I desire to capture simple pleasures, wind in the trees, atmospheric reflections, people and places around the world. I personify nature through color and movement evoking moods of transition, strength, and serenity. I use my fingers of both hands to blend pastels and sculpt form through layering pigment; pastel being one of the purest pigments. As I work the images can be unexpected, some terrains flow on to the paper gathered from memories, symbolically formed to portray ubiquitous scenes while some works are tangible locations. When I see smaller images like faces, animals, and cities within works in progress sometimes I enhance them to share my perceptions. I have always been enticed by faces and try not to stare, but as an artist sometimes I am caught in the beauty of the moment. I explore characters, various time periods, and human relationships through portraiture. I delight to capture a likeness but more to create a piece of art that is emotive and will stand through time. My art is simply smudges of color. What do you see?
