Artist Statement: Line, value, color, and shape tend to be the visual art elements predominant in my work. Equally important to me, however, are the elements that can be seen during the actual painting or drawing process. These elements are body, space, time, and effort and they refer to the art of movement. Creating a work of art is very much a dance to me. I try to incorporate rhythms and patterns of movement into the actual piece, thereby synthesizing the two art forms. I especially enjoy working on location for special events as I strive to capture the essence of the sights, sounds, and energy present. I am motivated and inspired by my family and friends, most especially by my children, Jasmine and Trent, and by my mother, Barbara, whose work as an artist has always been my guiding light..
