I am an artist. I live, breathe and feel art everyday. Art is my inner world of dreams, fantasies and exploration.
Art is everywhere. Being an artist is learning how to see;
how to perceive, how to enlighten, how to evoke. Originally born in NYC my current studio is situated on a lake outside of Chicago. Having exhibited and sold work throughout the major metropolis my art reaches many levels, from small intimate works to large commissioned murals. I am a professor of art history, a performance artist, a musician, an actress, and a dancer. But most of all I am a lover. A lover of life, beauty and the untouched in this life we are given.
I paint many different genres. From Landscapes, to abstracts, to nudes, to portraits, to still lifes, to full scale murals.
I have a series of sepia toned Renaissance oil paintings that incorporate the pigment burnt umber. The selection of monochrome is arresting. An image reveals itself without the luxury of a full palette. The pigment burnt umber recalls the hue attained from the ruins of Pompeii to Renaissance drawings. These Sepia works regenerate themselves, evolve and fade into mysterious imagery.
The burnt umber applied with washes of turpentine reveals drippings, and cracks to uncover a process of decay. The delicate subtlety of the drawings are given strength and permanence in the medium of oil, yet they retain the fragility of the dust they come from creating dreamlike interludes.
