"Paintings, assemblage and installations centered on themes of home, place and identity."
The journey and search for home, both literally in my surroundings, and metaphorically in my self has been a constant theme underlying my work. Environments and exploration guide my art practice. The materials I use, their inherent physicality and stories, literally form the foundation of my art-making. Play and expression through materials is as vital to my work as subject and content. Shown here are a series of “Home” paintings. I find the house shape to be beautiful and endlessly provocative -- solid and grounded, pointing upward final, and open at the same time.
I received a BFA in Sculpture from SFAI in 1973. In the 80’s I immersed myself in the L.A. Woman’s Building, participating in performance, installation, and public art. At the age of 45 I moved to Michigan with a young family where, 25 years later, I paint, create altars, and installations in my studio which includes the 12 acres of woods that surround my home.
