Artist statement 2024
The immediacy of line pulls me into combinations of drawing and painting. Natural form, color and movement inspire me in each piece. The process of painting involves wiping out lines and pattern of color leaving the memory of line and tone..a dialogue begins and the painting is underway.The moment captured is the most important to me.
While at The Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, my work was accepted into the permanent collection for The Wrestlers, and I was awarded the Charles Toppan Award for outstanding drawing and painting. My work is inspired by Matisse and Monet and my hero, Cezanne. My work can be seen in churches, in private homes and in corporate offices, such as
The Eagle Center in Exton, Pa., United Capital in North Wales, at their entrance,Alta Management JFK Blvd., Philadelphia, Community Health and Dental in Pottstown.
