About the Artist > Statement
 
  Each day I commit to making one thing, one mark to celebrate the life I've been given. I see light as the force that drives the universe, and beauty as evidence of light's revelatory power.

I go to my studio every day. Its location by the Gowanus Canal in Brooklyn, a poisoned waterway, seems fitting—a constant reminder to reject the misuse of resources—time, energy, imagination.

I love the act of painting. Oil paint is a complex, clumsy yet yielding material. I hope that my paintings convey a sense of delight in location, in the uniqueness of each 'here'.

I write as a way to connect my yearning to touch the sublime to the listener's own desire to be enraptured. I hope that my poems reveal the intricacies and mysteries of female longing and women's often solitary embrace of personal power.
