Statement

Almost three decades ago when I started as an artist, I painted meticulously detailed faux naif narrative scenes with a flattened perspective and riot of decoration and pattern.

Then my love of flea markets, antiques and interior design influenced my art. In addition to canvases, I turned to washboards, ironing boards, violins, and reverse painting on vintage windows. I made collages and assemblages with mixed media --lace, crazy quilts, folk art animals, buttons, leather books, clock faces, skulls, rhinestone jewelry, etc.

My most mature paintings are now bold abstract compositions that unfold instinctively. The subject is color, shape, form and size of canvas. These are my calming antidote to a pandemic riddled chaotic world.
