Its hope of lifting from the ground and moving in usual flight patterns is frustrated by the weight of substance. Creating these paintings has been a different journey than I have known in the past. They have demanded my conscious negotiation, along with the usual intuition and inspiration that feeds it. They are expressing tales of woe and the celebration of victory. The hushed tones of beforegive way to full voice, to songs or sirens, to stories or poems, and to a new language for me to learn and embrace.

I use lithographic inks mixed with modifiers on a Plexiglas plate, experimenting with viscosity and layering of inks to achieve rich color and depth. In my art I balance the weight of flat shapes and space, adding the expressiveness of line. After the monotype is complete, I embellish it with oil paint, pastels, and prisma-color. I begin my process searching to find that moment when I become totally absorbed, and my inner space comes into life with the creative spirit. Working in a spontaneous way, I look to reconnect my heart with my mind and get in touch with rhythms, balance, and harmony of universal consciousness.
