ARTIST STATEMENT
I’m an eco-feminist artist who believes that we must never relinquish the peaceful fight for the environment and environmental justice; as well as human rights and dignity for all. My artistic vision: A philogynistic world where women everywhere are valued, supported and safe, especially including BIPOC and LGBTQIA+. I wish that all may be blessed and uplifted by my artwork and artistic vision. My mission: To highlight the Triple Planetary Crisis (global warming, pollution, species loss), particularly as it impacts women and girls around the world. To do this, I paint dynamic, abstract environmental images awashed with color. All women and girls need a vibrantly healthy planet, which includes access to nature and food. This painting is part of my ongoing series: “Green Space Healing Space.” I abstractly recreate nature’s uplifting and life-giving power found in unpolluted green spaces such as parks, gardens, forests and fields. This painting can be hung four different ways. Observe images that evoke leaves rustling, branches swaying, sunlight flickering. The perspective is simultaneously looking up, sitting in the tree, and looking down at the treetop. The “negative/white space” in my paintings represents the “healing space” experienced in nature as well as in one’s own body.
