"Something in me resonates with triangles. I create images that make me feel that I am creating people in triangles. I even depict my husband, my most frequent model, in varying poses, looking for new triangles as he shifted his position. As every artist knows, if you have a mirror you have a model. Using a three sided mirror, I create combinations of views with reflecting and interacting triangles
Influenced by Van Gogh, I too am drawn to sunflowers. The brilliant colors and changing shapes are endlessly fascinating and enjoyable.
If an artist has a mirror he or she has a model. If one has a three way mirror, the possibilities are endless
