Artists's Statement
"The flexibility of oils allows me the
option of capturing my subject directly, in one sitting
or painting in layers over many weeks. It adapts well to
the loose style of the French flower painters. (Staid Dutch
flower painters are definitely not for me!) I am constantly
trying to catch the ephemeral beauty, and yes, fragrance
of the roses in my garden, from bud to leaf, to fallen petals,
and also the evocative lilacs of my youth in the Midwest.
Country gardens & country houses are other subjects in which
I hope to relay the peaceful simplicity of country life"
Artist's Summary
"I'm an avid and accomplished gardener.
I love and collect rare & antique roses, in addition to
many varieties of fragrant Jasmine and Lilac, the latter
of which is hard to grow in Southern California. My studio,
which is really like a secluded artist's pied-à-terre,
is surrounded and practically engulfed by these heady, lively
blooms. All of which I've planted and pruned, bringing them
back to life again on canvas. Being an actor's wife has
provided me with many unique opportunities to spend long
periods of time in fascinating locals throughout the United
States and abroad. Discovering and exploring museums, art
galleries, historical gardens, and stately homes (all of
which fuel my creativity) has become as much a passion as
my painting. Depicting florals in oil is a constantly growing
and evolving process; one which I cherish and strive to
uncover more about the mysteries of this organic evolution."
Artist's Dream
"Surrounded by lilacs and roses,
I paint a stroke or two.
Inhale the heady fragrance,
And magically, I'm through."
