Surrounded by ocean vistas while at a vacation house in Playas de Tijuana, Mexico, the environment was integral to fresh perspectives. Eventually, it become the catalyst for internal shifts. Ocean and sky stretched endlessly. Waves crashed and dolphins pranced playfully within her view. Doors and windows are thrown open, recalling the indoor-outdoor spaces of Matisse.
Leaves waft in, the turbulence of the outer world continuing to encroach upon the inner world.
The thresholds between the two remain fragile. That nature has regenerative, healing powers is expressed in The Dream . Here she evokes the serene state she achieved during her stay at Playas. It depicts a dream she had of floating on the ocean in a four poster bed. Red bedclothes set off deep ocean blues.
