Nature nurtures and inspires me. I combine elements of nature, texture and design along with the magic of the press. I am intrigued by memory and what remains in our mind’s eye. My work reflects scenes from travel near and far. More than a report on how it was exactly, I am interested in my expressive and passionate response to the color and pattern of the landscape, experience or image. The fluid space of memory, influenced by time, place and experience, forms the foundation of content for my work. I merge aspects of experience and observations with imagined and remembered sensations to create non-objective work that reflects life and memory. My work has overlapping layers of color and space, shifting relationships with mark making that includes monotype, silkscreen, stencil, image transfer, collage as well as drawing. Inspired by travel, I am creating visual memoirs which offer multiple meanings to the viewer. Since there is no new travel because of Covid, these landscapes are created from memories and what remains in my mind’s eye. Two quotes I love are:
“Wherever you go becomes a part of you somehow.” – Anita Desai.
"I paint from remembered landscapes that I carry with me," Joan Mitchell
Through my art, I strive to create an appreciation for natural beauty and a concern for its preservation.
