It is not simply the thing that she is painting, it is the emotion surrounding it. Impressions of both the natural and inner worlds flow onto her canvas in multiple layers of emotive oil paint. Each layer is multifaceted. Oftentimes the work begins with a phrase written on the bare canvas. Thoughts, like a coin into to a wishing well, begin each painting with intention. Layers of color and pattern evolve from there, hoping that your eyes stop to pause for a brief moment in time to feel your way through each painting.
