Bio/Statement
Observations of people moving through spaces, both at home and abroad has been a major focus of my recent work. The dynamism of human movement, passing of time, the energy of our ever-changing lives and interaction of people are a focus of these compositions. Dance, play, music, art, walking, running, cycling, becoming lost in a crowd and being alone, all are inspirations for my work. Life, time and people do not stand still, and I strive to capture those moments in time.
Much of my work is in series, sometimes starting with a digital painting and interpreting images into paint and prints. For these groupings, I begin with photos from my personal travels and experiences and layer multiple images to create a digital painting, losing the photographs in the process. I then lift sections of the digital painting and break up the design into panels that are then presented as individual images or multi-sectioned compositions.
Recent series include Locations Locomotion, based on movement in locals around the world; The Museum series, focusing on the interaction of people in various museums both in the US and abroad; and Walk and Wheels, inspired by the movement of people both on foot and on bicycles and other wheeled modes of transportation.
I am a board member and gallery coordinator for the Towson Arts Collective in Towson Maryland and an active member of the Hamilton Arts Collective in Baltimore Maryland. I was a Baltimore Museum of Art docent, now emeritus, since that program was discontinued. Previously I taught art in Baltimore County Public Schools for 23 years, having the privilege to teach students in grades K-12. I also was an adjunct professor at Towson University with their Arts Integration Institute, teaching graduate students the connections between the arts, reading and writing in school settings.
