My paintings contain images of seeds and seed pods, abstractions of nature showing the smallest of life and revealing the power of the beginning. Images interweave emotional automatic drawing with observational drawings. The abstract layers of images and colors of the natural and mystical world create a complex surreal juxtaposition of these elements expressing a journey through life.Unstructured full-time painting and drawing classes at the Art Students League after high school influenced me throughout my career. My two years at the Fashion Institute of Technology taught me craft is also part of the creative process, to make something well. Art is both an idea and an object, an inner vision and a manifestation of a vision. As an art teacher, I brought my passion for exploring ideas and the creative process to my high school students. Now retired, I bring that passion to my own studio work.In 2020 I exhibited in a group show “If Only” at the Olive Free Library, a show of women artists exploring feminist issues. In January 2024 I was in a group show at the women's collective, Ceres Gallery in NYC. Solo exhibitions include the Art Society of Kingston, Oriole 9 in Woodstock, Peace Nation Cafe in Kingston, Sawyer Bank in Saugerties, and Unitarian Fellowship in Poughkeepsie.
