Artist statement

The limits of painting provide me with ways to create tension and find my own imagery. The two dimensional format offers the chance to create a personal concept and poetry of space; the paint, the developing image and a light coming from within the painting ideally create an image most often of a woman with a physicality, sexuality and an inner world of profound thought, emotion and intelligence. I want the painting itself to be recognized for the object it is and that way, the moment depicted in the painting, becomes permanent, and the painting can transform the experience of time.
