Artist’s Statement

Inherent in my paintings is the outlook of a girl raised during a time when society made a big shift in its expectations of women. These mixed messages created a chasm within which both females and males became preternaturally trapped. A product of the psycho dynamics of an era, my paintings reflect the confusion, alienation and loneliness of the individual in solitude, in groups, and of society as a whole. The majority of my work is figurative. However, I am compelled to express similar themes in my abstract work, landscapes and cityscapes, finding emotional resonance and pathos in the most common places.

In recent years, particularly in the face of losing our democracy, I’ve felt an increasing urgency to create work that confronts the forces eroding civil rights, particularly women’s, and silencing dissent. What began as personal exploration has evolved into a form of visual activism—an effort to bear witness, hopefully galvanize others, and affirm that art can still speak truth in a moment when so much is at stake.
