My work includes painting on paper and silk and book making. It often begins with writing down a word, or a sound, or a dream and morphs to an image. I try to capture a passing moment, the slippery thread of a dream, the catch of a feeling, or a snippet of thought that has taken me out of time, place, and the robotic processing of the “to do list”. Painting is a way for me to declare my uniqueness and my commonality. Making things helps me to think about the world and allows me dream with my hands.
