Artist's Statement
|
As an artist and art educator, I
believe that each of us has a potential artist within. In my artwork, I
get in touch with the artist within by surrounding myself with art from
many cultures, by developing my drawing and painting skills, and by
creating a personal artistic style. In my current work, I create images
with oil paints, oil pastels, gouache and watercolor paints. I develop a pattern with oil paints and oil pastels.
This pattern serves as a resist that shows through the gouache and
watercolors which I apply over the oil-based pattern. The result is a
fabric-like surface that reflects my admiration for the fiber arts of
several cultures. The content of the imagery expresses my sense of
connection to the spirit of life in nature. |
