ARTIST STATEMENT
“River Reflections” Series
I have long been drawn to water imagery with its constantly changing depths and surfaces, its mirroring of the sky and clouds. I’m affected by the birds flying and the insects buzzing. The meditative experience of drawing near the water goes into the work. Two locations have inspired many monotypes and paintings: the Charles River in Waltham near where I live and work, and Sebago Lake in Maine where I have been going during the summer since childhood.
