Location:
I live in Key West, FL from October through early June and in my childhood home in NJ during the hurricane months. My teachers have been American Abstract Expressionist Clarence Giese (in Vienna during my Junior Year abroad) and "the last living German Expressionist," Joachim Loeber (in my retirement after a career as a English Literature and Women's Studies at Iowa State University). I am represented by Saphira & Ventura Gallery in Manhattan (NY).
These paintings are expressionist and abstract in their focus and achievement. They are mostly displays of color fields and non-representational shapes.
Each painting arises from the meeting of material, usually just paint (but sometimes sand, wax, or other collage materials) and canvas. The colors are chosen, but the structure of each work develops on its own. Some characteristic moves can be noted, looping circular strokes, metallic surface flares, horizontal color fields displayed and interplayed.
