CHALLENGING THE EDGE
I am always intrigued when I follow an artist’s body of work and then see her break away from her comfort zone of familiar materials, color palettes, applications and subject matter. I would always think, “what a courageous and difficult thing to do.” And now here I am, in the midst of my own renaissance, embracing the energy of a new inspiration. My newest series is one of exploration and experimentation and translates as excitement, magic and a new adventure.
My new abstract collection represents this new departure: a fearless sense of unknown territory. I have a fresh appreciation for color, line, texture and movement. Ironically, these abstracts have always existed in my work as a foundation for my mixed media images but now they stand alone vibrating, pulsating, reaching and swirling in a very lyrical way.
As an artist I continue to challenge my edge: In order for me to grow, I must reach beyond the familiar.
