Original oil painting and mixed media on panel framed in hand fabricated aluminum. Multiple layers of oil paint are applied with wedges, spatulas and brushes. Hints of gold leaf and vintage papers are collaged into the surface of the painting to create added layers. I carve deep into the layers with a scribe to create texture and depth. My imagery is informed by my experience as a woman who must co-exist in today’s modern world. Relationships with others as well as the environment create beautiful harmony and uneven discord, affecting all the senses.
I’m enjoying painting figurative works that tell an open ended story, where the viewer brings their own interpretation from life to the piece. I hope that you, the viewer, will observe my paintings as a story unfolding. Where you are in life will reflect what you see. There are several hidden layers in each piece, just like each of us. Think of my pieces as Holden Caulfieldsque- they will not change over time, yet you will interpret them differently as you grow through your life.
Creating works over the last 35 years in the mediums of jewelry, enamel, glass, metalwork and printmaking have all influenced this current body of work. Thank you all for supporting me as an evolving artist who loves experimenting with different materials. I currently live in Madrid, NM (20 minutes south of Santa Fe). Feel free to make an appointment to visit my studio that I share with Jonah Green.
