Painting: Acrylics, oils and encaustic works
I have been producing prints for nearly 25 years and painting for the last five…a fact that reminds me that I am well aged for something undrinkable. Possessing not one, but two degrees in photography, I am acutely and sometimes painfully aware of the obvious…that which lies in front of my eyes. Unfortunately the camera does not see the image through my eyes.I discovered etching one day when I wondered into a print studio and was mesmerized by the activity, and the process. I told the instructor that I had had never taken a drawing class before. It hasn’t seemed to matter after all. What I see is annotated in the prints and paintings that I create. Through a variety of media and techniques, I deliver a world of strange and joyful vision. My world is filled with creatures great and small; with characters in chase of others and themselves. We love the circus that is life. We love nature and its hidden world. We love the magic of others both real and imagined. When someone enjoys my work, it is a glue of understanding between us that things are exactly as they seem. This affirmation pushes me further into creation. |
