Artist Statement:
My purpose as an
artist is not necessarily to tell the truth—it is to captivate you for as long
as I
can hold your
attention. It is not necessary for the artwork to be any more than what it is.
What is necessary is for the art to flow from inside and to allow the artwork
to spring from my entire set of experiences and sensibilities as an artist.
My current
favorite giants, to name just the women, are Agnes Martin and Joan Mitchell for
the
purity of their
thought and action on the canvas as well as Linda Karshan, Sandra Blow, Vija
Celmins, and Katherina Grosse. Whether what they do is lyrical, expository or
just plain brash, to my way of thinking they are all pure abstract
expressionists who make marks, lines, shapes, colors on paper, canvas, even
buildings, and say to us, “ here look at this, make of it what you will.”
