My acrylic paintings make their mark on many levels. At the outset, I engage with the structure of the works, creating canvases vibrant with kaleidoscopic, rhythmically pulsating color and constant movement, shimmering with wit and a sophisticated cosmopolitan awareness. All this in the context of a subject matter that seems at first glance, to be almost adult-sophisticated anime in style.

My work is populated with the cultural icons of our time in dialog with a wide range of art and style influences of the last half-century. I take the popular icons of modern life and re-purpose them as symbols to chart the emotional challenges, conundrums, reversals and achievements as they reflect the interiority of modern woman’s life-experience.

Art that we can live with is invariably that which involves us in a conversation with ourselves about how we see our world and interact with everyday life. Because there is a strong narrative element in the paintings, my collectors talk about “taking a vacation” within a picture or “going to the movies” with a work.

Structure is the primary force in my body of work, manifesting itself in the line, shape, balance and movement within the narrative. Experimentation with the interaction of hues and the juxtaposition of tints and shades is also central to my message. I work my palette to the furthest boundaries of the spectrum, manipulating the paint to form layers of color to the point where my subjects literally glow.

Along with the professional concern for form and color, rides my obsession with minute detail throughout the swirl of storylines that drive my acrylic on canvas paintings: the result I believe, is constant intrigue and work that offers endless interpretive possibilities.
