b. 1953
Quiet ethereal moments, glowing light, shimmering reflections and memories of misty mysterious shapes are the source of my inspiration. Those moments which most captivate me are the drama of the light as the sun is rising, the sun as it casts it's long dark shadows at the end of the day, and the penumbra's lingering glow.
I spend a great deal of my time in England and Scotland. I return to visit my family, but it is there that I also find most of my inspiration. I am deeply connected to the landscape of my home where I find the light so soft and atmospheric. Often, my New Mexico paintings are inspired by those rare moments when there is an early morning mist. My paintings are inspired by real places and memories.
Photos, sketches, notes and memory help me recapture what might have been a fleeting inspiration. Using a limited palette, on Baltic birch panels and linen, I work in layers of opaque paint and glazes. I am fascinated by the subtleties in colour created by glazes. Glazes, light beams for my imagination. I constantly strive for new modes of expressing the textures of my imagination. The immediacy of monotypes and encaustics have inspired me to pare down to the bare bones, clarifying the vital elements which voice the joy that I find in the beauty of the land and through the day's transitional moments.
Painting is my survival kit, the essence of my living.
