Painting • Mixed Media
My work follows the impulse of the imagination, and is inspired by dreams and meditations that relate to an inner dialogue of my personal experience of the world. I work through a process of developing layers of color, texture and suggested forms to build images through a visual language that I have created to structure my compositions. My work as an artist explores the human condition - one's relationship to the environment, to others and to oneself. Each composition is relevant to my life at the moment , an energy field of communication that becomes personal to each viewer.
Bio
I have operated a studio in the Stutz Building for over 2 decades. I am an abstract expressionist artist with a focus on producing large format canvases and works on paper for residential and commercial spaces. I also do commissioned work designed for specific spaces through consultations to create work that is original for each client. In 2015 I received the Creative Renewal Arts Fellowship Grant from the Indy Arts Council and produced a body of work that culminated in a solo exhibition in 2017 at Gallery 924. Included in this exhibition were paintings, drawings and ceramic sculpture. I have several years of experience working as a curator and gallery director. I worked for the Evan Lurie Gallery in the Carmel Arts and Design District for 4 years until it was sold in 2021. I am now working with the Circle Real Estate Company, the current owner of the gallery, to operate a contemporary fine art gallery.
