After many years of painting, the process is still mysterious to me, these illusions taking shape and colors shifting, as the image gradually rises to the surface. The sensual world appears, transforms itself as the light changes, then disappears from view altogether. Another layer of paint, another memory passed, the enigma deepens. I am more and more interested in the natural world, from plant growth to the architecture and spirit of woman. The beauty of it all pulsates through this animated universe and I want my paintings to leave a visual trace of that pulse.
