ARTIST STATEMENT

I am interested in the powerful undercurrent of the divine feminine and how this force presents itself within us and our society. My most recent series of large scale acrylic on canvas paintings is a reflection of my first year as a mother, through which I am seeking to understand my relationship to joy, isolation, expectation and fulfillment, and to myself. It feels very important to me right now to paint the mother and put her at the center of my work where she can be seen.

I am drawn to joyful, luminous colors. I’ve been working mostly in acrylic on canvas, varying between a more structured style of painting and a looser style, letting those styles find their way towards merging.
