Artist StatementI come from a long line of artists and my most essential influence was my mother Mary. She was a true outsider artist making delightful and whimsical art out of found bits and pieces. I watched her combine wood, color & metal and use tools I now use every day. I had no idea I was learning the thrilling creative process at the time. My journeys to Guatemala, Asia, the Caribbean and Hawaii have been most influential in my love for color and pattern. I am drawn to naive art or outsider art creating art because of need and not commercial reasons. I am drawn to the intensity and raw energy of Haitian art- full of emotion & religious symbolism.I received a BS in psychology and I bring that interest to my work. I am fascinated in what draws people into art instinctively with shapes, colors, and symbols. I can value all styles of art however I know what specifically moves me and I don’t pretend my work is for everyone. I love color and creating art out of unusual materials & hope that my art makes people feel good. I have an abundance of energy & creating art is critical to my existence. I feel this is a gift and it is my honor to share it. |
