Statement
Artist's statement I was initially drawn to work with pastels because of their directness of application. I continue to work with them because of their luscious colors and the special light the finished paintings emit. With three small children, there was little time to pursue the passion of painting. Discovering pastels, compressed sticks of pigment applied to paper, I discovered my medium. I set up an easel and a still life in my basement next to the washing machine. It seemed I spent much of my time doing laundry, so it was easy to apply a few strokes of color between loads. No mixing of paints, fumes or waiting for paint to dry. It was slow going, but I finished paintings. I continued to paint and took classes. It was at one of these classes that I met a woman with a large studio. She invited me to paint with her weekly. My art took a step forward as I committed real time to working on it. Once out of the basement and into the light, I was better able to instill a sense of light into my paintings. I now have a studio of my own.
