Artist Statement
written July 2011 (shortly before her death) for her one woman show at the Lincoln Street Center for the Arts, Rockland Maine,
As I grow older, and wiser (?) I become more questioning about all things, including
art. The enjoyment of doing art is very much still there. The enjoyment of the results,
however, change with time and place.
To me, “less is more.” I find over load everywhere. I strive for elements that suggests
but do not “INSIST.” I want the person looking at these paintings to discover at
leisure what it is all about and maybe between us, we can share these ideas.
I still call the paintings, “Haiku.” Haiku being a very concise short poem that
has a lot to say.
