My art studio is at the center of my personal garden, connected to my house where I live. I garden, I sketch, and I paint - everything here is one
It is where I work, touch, and see - This space affects me deeply and makes me feel things like no other.
The gardening and painting are very physical - Both take all my strength, and give beyond measure to my mind and how I feel within.
I work in a field of ideas, not in the order of one idea to the next – I suspect these overlapping streams of thought will continue throughout my life, leading me to new series of art – These are deep seated visions that have come to me over 50 plus years spent traveling, in gardens and in the wild.
Drawing from the subconscious and transferring to what I would term a representation of an ”abstracted memory”
A quote from Joan Mitchell resonates for me "Working my way in and out of memories, navigating deep feeling"
