Blocks series

My squares and rectangles are taking first place in my Block series. They came out of the background. I like how they seem to float on the canvas, slowly moving towards or away from each other, using the space as their playground.

Paper series

Colors, textures, shades of light in our environment create sensory experiences that inspire me. I like to work with paper, acrylic paint, and oil pastels to represent my emotions with vibrant colors and surprising textures.

Temptation in snow

Paper, oil pastel, and acrylic on canvas 12 x 12 in

Inspiration can take funny twists: I created my first black and white painting, after being intensely moved by vibrant fall colors in tree leaves one day. The reds, the oranges, the yellows, the browns, and the greens were exceptionally intense one morning and I felt compelled to paint... the result was a colorful black and white painting!

One never knows where inspiration may lead!

Primitive series

I was very inspired by a temporary exhibit at the museum of Primitive Arts in Paris last May. There were paintings from Indians from rural India, who created magnificent artwork out of cow dung and dirt, or a little paint and a stick. It amazed me. When I came back home, I created the following paintings...

Primitive 1

Paper and acrylic on canvas 12 x 48 in (122 cm x 30 cm)
