Artist Statement
Replete with references to the ancient frescoes and mosaics of the Etruscans, Romans and Byzantines, my paintings on paper capture a timeless moment through a contemporary eye. Inspired by Indian and Persian miniatures, the vanishing art of hand-painted signage and a variety of sacred and folk arts, I create portraits of diverse individuals.
For the past 8 years I have concentrated on a series of figurative works painted in oil or gouache on paper. At times I incorporate collaged decorative elements from a variety of sources including old catalogs, field guides and vintage books into the work. I use color and pattern to evoke emotion and tell stories of daily life where the viewer is drawn into an intimate world. My work is clearly inspired by the traditional, but the impact of personal history is evident in the quiet presentation of issues of gender and race.

| 教育程度与个人自传 |
For the past thirty-one years I have been working steadfastly in my studio towards private goals as an artist. In my work, which is often autobiographical, I use the iconography of simple objects and acts of daily life to tell stories which frequently address profound issues through a woman's eyes. As a self-taught artist my work reflects the disappearing graphic and design styles from which I draw my early aesthetic sensibilities. I was born in Brooklyn and grew up in and around New York City. I worked from the model for many years. In addition to many hours spent in life drawing groups, my work has been informed by my frequent travels and a life time of museum going. I have lived in the Caribbean and Italy.
I have received two Fellowships in Drawing from the New York Foundation in the Arts (2005, 1995) among other awards. I have been in numerous exhibitions, both solo and group, in North America and Europe.
