ARTIST STATEMENT
Drawing and painting are connected in my work which straddles both categories. Paintings are linear, and drawings are created on painted surfaces, and my recent work includes collage. You will find U.S. Geological Survey maps, cutouts, and images that project from the surface.

Images come from a variety of sources - the word lists I begin each new painting with, objects that have meaning for me, and images I have scavenged from other artist’s work.

The works in the series "Northern Spring" were inspired by my relocation from the Washington, D. C., a southeastern urban area to the northern rural environment of Maine, where I grew up. The artworks have their roots in the personal, but I invite the viewer to decide on the meaning for themselves. I am interested in creating a narrative with the participation of the viewer.
