About The Artwork
By painting landscape I infuse myself with the essence of a place—I relive the balmy expansion of summer sea, or black tendrils of winter birch, mirroring my psyche in the patterns of earth and air. If our bodies are focal points within a matrix of millions of molecularly shared life forms, the language of mathematics underpins all of life experience. The rules and consistent proportion of mathematics and geometry make an interesting counterpoint to the intuitive physicality of our animal bodies. Maths uses numerical symbols to represent objective truths, perhaps just as color and can encode subjective truth. I shall visually explore the living land and sensual body, in contrast to harmonic proportion and logic, to learn what lies between them. This project is a meditation on the mind/body split, a study on the pure form of color and design, and an engagement in the art historical swing between abstraction and figuration. This painting shows a view from the outer hebrides of scotland. I started the background and then overplayed the geometric areas. I enjoyed this painting as very process oriented and explorative. There isn't a hanging wire, it just needs two nails in a straight line, or alternatively would be lovely framed.

United Kingdom
I am a visual artist originally from California living in my adopted home Edinburgh Scotland. With work in private collections around the USA, Europe and Australia, I also love sharing my love of art through teaching. I have a two year old son and am very inspired by the connection between art making and motherhood, most recently participating in the Artist-In-Residency in Motherhood, and Spilt Milk--a collective of artist-mums. In 2012 I won an Abbey Award Fellowship in Painting at the British School at Rome spending three months in Italy researching the history of the female nude. I subsequently won a year long housing and studio grant from the Roswell Artist in Residence Program, in which I produced a large body of work culminating in a solo exhibit at the Roswell Museum and Art Center. Whatever the subject matter of a painting, ultimately my artistic purpose is to experience the deep flow of creation and to impart that state of presence with the world. I desire to make art that creates more community and connection. Starting with a digital collage process, and creating watercolor studies from the collage, I then make several paintings slowly over many months, where sometimes they are sanded down and reworked taking on various incarnations, or in other cases the piece matures fluidly.
