Artist statement about her Water Series

The origins of my paintings are rooted in nature. The shapes are allowed to flow and intermingle, creating a tangible environment. Water, especially when freezing upon a river is my muse. The way, in which water transforms, layer by layer upon the river surface informs my work both directly and indirectly. Forms are freely moving over the surface of the canvas enticing the viewer to travel throughout the piece.

I have chosen to work in vibrant colors because they resonant with the energy of nature. Water in its simplicity is changed by reflecting its surroundings. These paintings are my reaction to the vibrancy of our natural environment. My intention is to depict the imagery of nature thru these organic abstractions.
