The work of the last seven years are for me, a radical departure from the work I had done over the previous 20. The larger format, new paint medium and fresh subject matter were all very new to me. I feel that this work has allowed me to express a very different aspect of my personality. For this I am truly grateful to my teacher and mentor Tom Wudl for guiding me through this often challenging but exciting process.
I feel alive as I mix the color and apply the paint to the canvas. It is the journey through the process of painting that has come to mean the most to me. I am continually surprised and delighted at what I have created. When I paint, I am happy. Martha Graham said: “There is a vitality, a life force, a quickening that is translated through you into action… It is not your business to determine how good it is, not how it compares with other expression. It is your business to keep it yours clearly and directly, to keep the channel open…”
