acrylic, oil, ink, and spray on stretched, unprimed canvas

2020

This work is on natural raw linen. Very thin, transparent linen.

Motherhood turned me, representational artist, into abstract expressionist. Losing my first baby in miscarriage exposed how little control I have. Grieving, freed me to let go and create intuitively and improvise in the studio. Painting with a detailed plan and total control felt almost wrong to me.

My aim in the studio is to ebb and flow with the process, be present, and play with the paint, play in a serious manner, as children do. 

I am artist-mother in restraint and perpetual release.
