Art has been my life as long as I can remember, beginning with the feeling of “I need” to sketch or paint when I was a child, to being the mother who started the art programs in local schools, to getting my art degree and becoming a serious artist.
Looking back at my art career, I see that my imagery is all connected to making a place, an environment of contentment or an exploration of what happens in a space. First I worked in watercolor, documenting what went on around me in a very naïve and unschooled way. Those paintings have the honesty and liveliness of a child. Then I moved to oil paintings, again exploring my surroundings but concentrating on technique, influenced by art school. After a few years, I began combining my ideas into 3 dimensional box paintings, literally creating a place to depict imaginary or real events. This led to making tiny little houses that reminded me of my childhood in Pennsylvania with the mining company towns. I began giving the houses life by using images of my family. In time I began to use paintings for the houses as a documentation of trips or people’s lives. Texture, layers of color and ideas became more important to me and I began to explore printmaking and monotypes.
Recently I have gone back to school to learn etching and have set up a studio where I can etch plates and print with my own press. I am honing the skills of aquatint and intaglio printing, now using more than 1 plate to make a color image. This year I have begun to make a few mezzotints as well as to paint much larger oil paintings.
