Portfolio of Works

The impact of climate and human progress on the environment in the oceans is the thrust for this body of work.  The images present an abstraction of the underwater world that communicate the artist's concern for the beauty of nature  which is  so effortlessly destroyed.   Her colorful organic abstractions  reference unique species of coral ,  the tides and currents of water over time.  They are reminders of incremental damage and irreparable loss.

These are sometimes called memory of plein Air, or more appropriately plein water.  The artistic process begins with observation while diving and then returning to make a small memory painting of a shape, texture or color contrast observed

Movement is the first sensory experience when underwater.  The buoyancy and currents are translated to brush marks and influenced by the ocean's colors.   Cenesthesia is the transfer of one one sensory experience to another
