SOMA NewArt GALLERY

Artist Statement

"My Indoor Spaces / Outside Places show is designed to highlight the myriad ways in which light creates the essence of a great painting."

"Using a variety of watercolor techniques, I have explored the illumination of ambiance that light creates in locations both indoors and out."

Artist Statement 

"For the past year the creative process has taken me on a journey of change and artistic growth.  As an artist I feel the challenge to explore the possibilities of new art forms.  While staying true to aqua media, I have added the elements of collage and acrylic to my work as well as watercolor." 

"The pieces created for this show represent my new love of collage, intense colors and values and abstracting the obvious."

" I have been painting since I was a young girl. I wanted to be an artist then as I want to be an artist now. When I was young I painted what I saw. Today I am painting what I feel, thick paint, course brush strokes, bold colors, intuitive and painterly having a spiritual element."

 "Kumbaya" is a group of thirty three oil paintings inspired by the simple lives of the 'Sisters of Saint Joseph' and their summer lives at Saint Mary's Retreat House in Cape May Point, NJ. Their lives seen through the eyes of a painter in mission."
