A long break
So I haven't been blogging for some time.
I simply have had too much to do to keep up. I hate that feeling but felt like something had to give. I am hoping to get back posting on a regular basis soon. Lots of nice things are happening in the studio and fun opportunities are coming alive (more on that at a later date).
I was kindly featured on Minimal Exposition. David posted about some of my recent works.
Here is a close up of what may turn into a whole series of "Dayglo Fat". As you can see I am really enjoying pushing the "fat series".

Whole Lotta PINK!
Whole Lotta is a new soon to be frequent post giving homage to the LOVE of color. I aim to feature works that bring these rich colors to the forefront. Pink has been in my studio lately more than ever. It's like an old friend I should have never forgotten about. As a young girl this color meant something very different. I am now drawn to it's lush boldness and quirky power it can possess. Please click on the artist's name for more information.
Enjoy these wonderful finds.

"Surfaces" @ Sandler Hudson Gallery
Okay I have been taking a break from the studio and blog since my show
went up. It's been an intense past year and having some moments to relax
has been nice. Here are a few shots of the show. I have more work posted on my website. It feels good to have the work up on some clean white walls. The shows runs through Feb 25th at Sandler Hudson Gallery. Click on the titles to see larger pictures.
Surfaces Statement
This recent work
body of work is an exploration of structures and layering. Pushing the
paintings further and finding new shapes and surfaces has been an exciting
avenue that I plan to continue with. I have loosely named the smaller groupings
“The Fat Series”. There is a bold and raw quality behind these pieces. I work
intuitively to create all my paintings. They are a reflection of the energy and
state of mind when created. I want the tactile seduction of paint that inspires
me to come through to the viewer.
