I
love to paint what I observe in the world around me and I love to paint
with pastels. To be able to give outward expression to the beauty I see
is a gift I hope to share with those who view my work.
I am delighted that pastel is enjoying a renaissance. It is the oldest,
most durable medium, and I am excited by its versatility. Pastel can be
used with much spontaneity, or with attention to precise detail. The colors
offered in pastel appeal to my love of the amazing colors I see in nature,
from the brilliant sky and water colors to the nuance of hues seen in
the tiniest vein of a leaf. The directness of the medium enables me to
put down on paper what I see, with an immediacy that allows my creativity
to flow. I love the process. It is glorious!
Painting has sustained me during many periods of uncertainty in my own
life, and as troubling events swirl around us all, I continue to find
peace and comfort by being with my creative process. It is my hope that
all of us may seek solace and inspiration in the Arts - especially now...
