I am a Los Angeles artist whose paintings in watercolor, oil and acrylic reflect a B.A. in Art at UCLA, four years of study with Dr. Alex Vilumsons at Everywoman's Village, and combined study and teaching with Artist Co-op 7 since 1994.
During the last four years, I have studied with Dean Ruth Weisberg's group in Italy at Santa Reparata International Art School in Florence, Italy, and twice in Giogalto, Tuscany learning monotype with a press. We have exhibited together at USC Hillel Art Gallery twice, and will exhibit again February 2008.
My paintings explore the surface of a two-dimensional graphic world and break away from full subject identity and realism. Surfaces are textured with experimental treatments employing the effects of wax resist, collage, and multiple layers of paint. With a prepared watercolor palette, lots of water and a rather big brush, I drop in large dabs of color. I pick up the paper, turn, add more color, and let the drips show me the direction the painting will go. Sometimes a grid is formed, and I can lay in color, keeping vaules and contrasts in mind. Subject sources range from landscape and built environments to the figure, animals and still life.
