Artist statement & Acknowledgements
This show is a representation of some of the various disciplines and subjects I chose to create during my first years here on the Cape.
From part-time in a cottage to my new full-time home, here in Falmouth.
Works in this show are in pastels, watercolor, acrylics, and an array of 3D pieces, like jewelry and found object assemblage.
As an artist I embrace change, sentimental integrity, and inventiveness. I am a wife, mother and grandmother to many of the portraits in this show.
I prefer to work on my own personal art or commission pieces, where I can collaborate with a client and create art where subject, medium, and style emerge in conjunction with mood and memory personal to them.
Letting my heart decide and allowing myself the freedom to choose is truly a gift.
I would like to acknowledge some of those who have assisted, past and present, in my journey so far.
The Monday morning painting coordinators: Sue Gustin, Patty Calvin’s Martin, Dennis Chase, Cathy van de Bil and Peter Daley.
Public, private and local establishments who have allowed us to paint plein air on their space.
Friday Figure coordinator: Ruth Leech and her splendid array of unique models.
The Falmouth Art Center’s Suzy Bergman past and present Executive Director Laura Reckford, and staff: Bethany, Cathy and Ashley, who are always so willing to help with a smile. Photographer Stephen Dubois and last but not least, my husband and family who are my most endearing critics.
Thank you!
