ARTIST'S STATEMENT
In my work, I use the human figure in an illustrative manner to elicit certain psychological responses in the viewer. I generally like to use naturalistic backgrounds and subject matter in my work since that is the environment I experienced as a child and young woman growing up in the very pastoral Finger Lakes region. Some might say that my work, while having an innocence, also has dark undertones. I do this because it is a symbolic reflection of the human condition as being both good, evil and thick with all of its many dark and mysterious facets.
