Color!

I have included two recent pictures of my studio in Boston. On the floor is a new large canvas I am prepping. I will work on this canvas and the other large canvas (last pic in post) simultaneously.

Thinking about color relationships, I decided to zoom in on areas in my house paintings where color shapes and rhythms seem to vibrate. This happens to occur most commonly within shadowed window panes. These oil paintings are 6"x 8".

Excited about the abstract studies, earlier this week I created three on larger canvases. Two 15''x15'' and one 18''x18''.



This canvas at 5' x 6 1/2' is the largest I have painted. I am enjoying the challenge of painting using full body movement to make a mark. I am working to translate my mark making from the abstract window paintings onto the larger paintings.

MFA Study

Below is a paper weaving mounted on a water color image. It is my response to our seminar assignment "make a large drawing to represent time without using sequence." I have been thinking about time as a variable, the layers of past, present and future, and a web of interconnected moments.


These paintings are about the shape color forms create in situations with direct and natural light. I just had a critique where someone noticed the recurring theme of an X composition in my work, fascinating!!
My weaving may originate from this painting...
