Statement: “Creating paintings is like giving birth. I let experiences and images I gravitate towards, in waking and dreaming states, to grow life in my mind. Through many contractions, my labor results in poetic landscapes and figurations - each to me as precious as a baby.
I tap into these visceral sensations of birth and death through the lens of Feminist and Jungian Psychoanalysis. This lens organizes life events as mythological tales that occur to help one to gain a larger consciousness of the world across cultures in order to appreciate more the beauty of it. Painting is like growing a baby, you may not see its meaning at first but you do feel it and you follow that.”
