Artist Statement
The beauty of the colors is what first draws us into these pictures. Then, subtle compositions hold our attention while mysterious narratives invite lingering.
My work is inspired by specific 17th—and 18th-century French paintings seen through the lens of 19th—and 20th-century expressionism. I’m attracted to the representation of dreamlike settings in nature, sometimes inhabited by figures, often incorporating architecture and sculpture. In the 18th century, artists depicted the natural world as a place of pleasure and love, but with the certainty that all pleasures are transient.
Combining abstraction and representation, involvement in the painting process is key for me. As Helen Frankenthaler said, “Let the picture take you where it must go.”
