An artist’s search never ends. It ebbs and flows as each new challenge, idea or inspiration makes its impression.
From art student, wife, mother, display guru, art educator, tromp l’oiel artist and muralist to currently allowing the tides to carry me, the world of art has always been my grounding.
In this current political climate of a never ending bombardment of absurdities, I find myself laughing, which is absurd in itself. There are though, some aspects of what is happening that make me want to scream. One is the irreverent disregard for our environment and planet. A second is the attempts to silence and subjugate women. But be forewarned. The Sacred Feminine is rising once again.
Artist Statement
This painting is intentionally disturbing. It represents attempts to criminalize women for making choices that are intrinsic to their well being. Their sublimation through the use of fear and punishment cannot be tolerated. My painting speaks to cutting women off from fulfilling their full potential, threatening their lives and isolating them from the natural world through which they gain sustenance and strength.
