Painting and drawing are my main focus, but I also incorporate mixed-media collage and photography into my studio practice.</p><p>Trained to work from life as an observational painter, I combines painting from life with gestural lines and abstract marks. </p><p>Current series include "<a target="_blank" href="https://www.format.com/6822250" data-link-type="external" data-link-value="https://www.format.com/6822250">Motherhood Hit Me Like a Train</a>" line art paintings on paper, "<a target="_blank" href="https://www.format.com/12114055" data-link-type="external" data-link-value="https://www.format.com/12114055">After the Plague Party</a>" gestural paintings, and "<a target="_blank" href="https://www.format.com/6822227" data-link-type="external" data-link-value="https://www.format.com/6822227">Mommy Mayhem</a>" paintings and digital collages." </p> 568</div> 569 </div> 570 <div class="sixcol last"> 571 <div data-editable-type="text" id="text_2" class=" " data-force-html-mode="false" data-id="78174917" data-content-module-unique-id=""> 572 573 <h2>Painting Process</h2><p>"In my art studio, I work on multiple paintings and drawings over many sessions. I experiment with different applications of colour: washes of paint, bold brushstrokes, and palette knife marks across the canvas or panel. </p><p>My recent abstract paintings are lively and full of gesture and movement. As I apply paint, the image becomes more abstract. Each artwork has many layers and textures built up over multiple painting sessions.<br/></p><p>As a mother of 3 children, my art studio time is treasured and focused. Through making art, I reconnect with myself as an adult and creator, independent of being a mother and wife. The pressures of family and time constraints come out in my artwork, even when I set out to make slow, meditative paintings."</p> 574</div> 575 </div> 576</div> 577 578 579 580 581 582 583 584 585 586 587 <div class="_4ORMAT_content_page_row _4ormat_sort_item _4ORMAT_full_width_module _4ORMAT_module_mailing_list_02" data-content-module-id="16331353" data-content-module-template-id="139" data-content-module-unique-id="" data-content-module-removable="true" data-content-module-category="mailing-list"> 588<div class="format-mailing-list format-mailing-list--animation_style-6"> 589<div class="format-mailing-list__content"> 590<span class="format-mailing-list__heading " data-editable-type="label" data-max-length="60" data-toolbar-fieldset="bold, italic, divider, link" id="label_1" data-force-html-mode="false" data-id="301949371" data-content-module-unique-id=""> 591 592 Subscribe to my Newsletter 593</span> 594<span class="format-mailing-list__description " data-editable-type="label" data-max-length="160" data-toolbar-fieldset="bold, italic, divider, link" id="label_2" data-force-html-mode="false" data-id="301949372" data-content-module-unique-id=""> 595 596 Sign up with your email address to receive occasional news and updates. 597</span> 598<form class="format-mailing-list__form email_form" data-contact-form-type="mailing-list" data-editable-type="contact-form" id="contact_form_1" novalidate="" name="contact_form_1" action="/mailing_list/subscriber" method="POST" data-id="301949376" data-content-module-unique-id=""><div class="error_messages"></div> 599<input class="_4ORMAT_module_contact_input" name="module_name" type="hidden" value="mailing_list_02" /> 600<fieldset class="format-mailing-list__form-fieldset format-mailing-list__form-fieldset--email-input"> 601<input class="format-mailing-list__email-input" data-validate="email" name="from" type="email" /> 602<div class="format-mailing-list__email-input-placeholder-text " data-editable-type="label" data-max-length="40" data-sync-input-width="" data-toolbar-fieldset="" id="label_3" data-force-html-mode="false" data-id="301949373" data-content-module-unique-id=""> 603 604 Enter a valid email address 605</div> 606</fieldset> 607<fieldset class="format-mailing-list__form-fieldset format-mailing-list__form-fieldset--submit-button"> 608<button class="format-mailing-list__submit-button" name="submit"></button> 609<div class="format-mailing-list__submit-button-text " data-editable-type="label" data-max-length="15" data-sync-input-width="" id="label_4" data-force-html-mode="false" data-id="301949374" data-content-module-unique-id=""> 610 611 Sign Up 612</div> 613</fieldset> 614<input name="authenticity_token" type="hidden" value="nCuhBwcJodDfyqQ7fvyaVK5iMS78S65_amb-X-D4y9JlFuywd1qNeNIOf1Mn-PhZYWwJJ18_eMalAjqoVte1Hw" /><input name="subject" type="hidden" value="" /></form> 615
