acrylic, oil, ink, pastel, and spray on stretched canvas…

2019

From the Blithe With Me collection.

Generous white space. Scribbled ink-blot.

My admiration for the AbEx artists trickles into my work. I see hints of Helen Frankenthaler's large washes on natural unprimed canvas and Cy Twombly with his scribbly, illegible writing. The large, monumental canvas calls to me as it did them. I push and pull materials, as well as write stream-of-consciousness, on canvas over 1x1 meter in size sprawled on the floor. My color-field paintings incorporate both spontaneous and meticulous applications of ink, pastel, acrylic, spray, and oil paint. My aim in the studio is to let go, be present, and play with the paint, play in a serious manner, as children do.

I am artist-mother in restraint and perpetual release.
