From 2012 to 2020, the following was my artist statement.

Patterns--in clouds, stains, concrete floors, flagstones, shower tiles--and, in my paintings. I sketch what I see--shapes, lines, angles and curves. When I look again, what I see is not the same.

Art is the most subjective thing I do. I turn on my Tschaikovsky cds and start with a color or shape, fill the canvas or paper, letting music and my mood dictate what I do. When the paint is dry, I decide what gets attention with outlines and width of line, add details within shapes, and KNOW when I am finished. All--subjective.

When you look at my work, what I hope is--no matter how often you view a piece, it is never the same.

From 2012 to the present, in addition to the vivid colored paintings I was exhibiting, I sketched in my 3 1/2" x 5" pocket sketchbook. I have just completed and am now showing the paintings I did during the Covid pandemic using the sketches as inspiration. This new series is called Sunday Morning Meditations: The Power of Hope.
