ARTIST STATEMENT
I work from life, photographs, transferred images and patterns all of which are loaded with significance. These personal associations get me involved and engaged in the formal issues of painting. I use myself and my body as the primary figure and subject to explore ideas about my identity. The pieces are very layered and incorporate collage elements, drawing, printmaking, photography and painting to address the formal issues of design. 1950s design and culture, housewifery, antique etiquette, housekeeping guides and pin-up girls heavily influence the most recent works.
