Abstract Paintings

I have been making things, both two dimensional and three dimensional since I was a little girl, collecting stones and shells with my mother, that we then transformed into rock people.

That is where my love and fascination with rocks began. For many years, rocks were the main subject matter of my paintings. At first the paintings were inspired by simple compositions of rocks lined up on a ledge. These evolved to more elaborate configurations of stacked rocks, and finally to arrangements suggestive of family constellations. The paintings have evolved. The rocks have become less obvious and in some instants, have disappeared altogether only to reappear. The mystery of the rocks continues to intrigue me.  

My current work is non-objective. Knowing my history, one can see a glimmer of a past obsession with rocks. My concerns are now with the process. You can see evidence of the stages along the way. I start with no preconceived notion of what the painting will become.   I am totally free to explore color, form, space, texture, and composition. There is an element of playfulness. Every blank canvas presents a challenge. I regard every work as an adventure.

I addition to my paintings, my monoprints provide me with additional avenues of expression.
