I am a woman filled with passion and conviction. I like to shout at the world of my feeling and emotions. And I accomplishe this through the eyes, ears and noses of some of nature’s great creatures. I paint larger than life portraits of animals as diverse as bald eagles, polar bears, black bears, to big horned sheep and majestic horses. These animals are charged with emotions and bursting with personality, whether it’s me or the animals no one knows for sure. Perhaps my method of NOT using any paint brushes, but only my hands and fingers to capture these expressive, dynamic paintings of pure expression, allows my emotionally charged thoughts to come through each imposing portrait.
“For me painting has and will continue to be my voice. The animal paintings are my visual vocabulary. Through them I can express all of my inner thoughts and feelings. I feel a closeness to each animal; their spirit speaks directly to my soul. Somewhere along the painting process we become one. I convey my inner feelings through their expressive portrait. Each animal represents a completely different emotion for me. I do not always recognize the animal’s purpose at first, but I am compelled to paint the passion and emotion I feel when I think of that particular animal. These chariots of my emotions come to me through dreams and random thoughts. This unique relationship is not bound by time or the number of paintings, but by my commitment to express my true inner self.”
I am originally from New York City. It was the wide-open spaces and the rugged mountains along with the lure of cowboys that drew me to Montana back in 1998. I paint in oils and pastels. My works are large, which only adds to their bold compelling nature.
