ARTIST STATEMENT
Art has always been part of my life. Growing up
in Maine, the daughter of an artist, I was
constantly “making things”, and the urge to
create has never left me. I studied art in
college, with a focus upon abstraction. Upon
moving to Pennsylvania I became enamored with
the landscape, using color boldly and
expressively; I am unfailingly inspired by the
beauty of our state’s forests.
Whether rendered abstractly or realistically, my
goal is to bring the excitement of the outdoors
into the indoor environment. Colored pencils
have become a favorite medium; used on black
paper, they allow me to create very intense
patches of color almost as if they were tiles in
a mosaic. Etchings are a relatively new
interest; I am a member of the Penn’s Woods
Printmakers and am fascinated by the exacting
process of printmaking.
A highlight of my artistic ventures was a
feature article in American Artist Magazine
(April 2004). My works, both drawings and
etchings, have been included in juried national
competitions, and are represented in the
permanent collections of regional institutions.
I’ve shown them in solo shows throughout the
Cumberland Valley, and, as an active member of
the Franklin County Art Alliance and Penn’s
Woods Printmakers, in galleries and exhibitions
as well.
