I
began painting in France and my work still reveals a French influence.
Cezanne was my first teacher. I continued painting when I returned to
the United States: in Ohio, Philadelphia, and New Mexico, where I lived
and taught on the Cochiti and Isleta Reservations. Different milieus
and ways of life contributed to my development. My
paintings convey a myriad of my experiences. My husband, Robin, and I
divide our time between New York City and our home in Delaware County,
NY. Monica Tarantino is a friend in the country and her poems
always provoke ideas. An unexpected source of
images and titles for
paintings is my work as an art therapist at the 80th Street Residence
for Memory Enhancement on the Upper East Side of Manhattan. I
encourage residents to begin paintings as I do, with drifts of color on
wet paper or canvas. I enjoy Gertrude Stein-like conversations with
the residents. When I praised one woman's drawing she explained
to me, with great conviction, that it was a car driving itself backward
up a hill.
I keep my eyes open for the quotidian and the sublime.
