Matinee Idol

Image:

While it's apparent that I've employed the kind of banal imagery that defines the pedestrian notion of Western culture, it is, I hope, also evident that the work is saturated with whimsey and parody. It is aggressively frontal. The paper thin bronze shell appears to be cut or torn from a larger form. The gestural lines and geometric shapes that have been added emphasize the lack of volume and mass.

Symbiosis–1&2

I am usually not thinking so much about a finished work, but am inspired, accepting and mystified by the process of creating it.

What inspires me is the outcome of materials at hand and their relationship to each other. Also the willingness to be spontaneous, and the compulsion to make something that expresses my own life's experience as well as reflect to the viewer the dynamics and emotion of their spirit.

Cobra Tea Set

Looking back at my development I feel I have come full circle with my initial interest in images of still life to create my own form of artistic creation. I have consistently searched for a psychological edge or emotional meaning in these images. I find enormous force from familiar objects that trigger personal reminiscence on a conscious and unconscious level. My arrangements of objects are extremely contrived in a desire for aesthetic quality and emotional charge, which can be heightened by the association of seemingly disconnected objects juxtaposed.

Sweet Delicata

My paintings celebrate the power and beauty of domestic spaces and objects. I paint directly from life, in natural light, still life objects which communicate through a window with a landscape, urban or natural. The objects, culled from daily life and painted larger than life, take on a monumental quality as viewed against the landscape, challenging established hierarchies between traditionally male and female spaces.
