FOLLOW ME ON INSTAGRAM for a look at my latest work.

objects + moments mingle with abstraction. . ‘haifa’, a summer still life.
this summer I’ve wandered, observed, and absorbed moments in my mind. I photographed and noted the colors and feeling of the places we traveled. objects came came into focus, time often stood still. as the memories settle, new paintings emerge.

Loving this install of ‘Higher State of Being.’ Large scale art makes a such a statement!
Growing up I was surrounded by art that my parents collected from the different places they traveled around the world. One of the pieces was a Brancusi influenced ‘Mlle Pogany’ sculpture that sat in our entry way. I knew our home looked different than my friends, Laura Ashley dominated decor of the time, but this was one of the pieces that really set us apart. The alien-like ovoid eyes, sensual curves, and disembodied arms both embarrassed and intrigued me. Today I see how the anti-realistic, abstract art of my childhood inspired me. The sculpture, glued together from many childhood mishaps, is now an anchor in my own home and studio. . Walking through the Atelier Brancusi in Paris I thought back to my own memories of first trying to understand abstract art and about how revolutionary his work must have felt for those seeing it in the 1920’s. Brancusi challenged the world to consider more than just a physical likeness to life in art. “That which they call abstract is the most realistic, because what is real is not the exterior but the idea, the essence of things.” That essence is what I’m always seeking when creating my own work and what I look for most in life. ✨
amazing view from our flat. J'aime Paris.
