ARTIST STATEMENT
"Spirituality is the purpose of art."
Vasily Kadinskey
Recently I have become fascinated with slanted straight lines, as well as with the organic lines I have worked on for some time. Diagonal lines provoke the feeling of movement, a sense of journey, and of deep space.
My work has been created through my close feelings of affinity with nature and indigenous cultures, which is by nature spiritual. I believe in beauty, awe and sublime in life. Painting is the act of reaching that state of being for me. My paintings are about uplifting my spirit and viewer's.
There is the concept of interconnected oneness of the universe.
I explore this concept through weaving on my works.
I weave energy patterns as an expression of an order in the universe.
I weave colors to create vibrations.
I weave movements and space.
I weave the past, present and future.
Weaving expresses womanhood, for traditionally weaving has been woman's work.
My hope is that my paintings trigger the viewer's mind in many levels.
