Artist Statement
As a genuine Jersey Shore gal, I find inspiration in the life that happens “down the shore.” The predominant yellow of “Asbury Park,” and the burst of red too, celebrates a comeback city that’s seen its share of legends: rock stars, carousels, recessions, and storms. And yet it lives.
I work off-easel in a partnership of paints and water. There’s no going back. No correcting mistakes (I don’t really believe in mistakes in art), there’s only forward movement. Unlike the control I think I can exert over real life (and like the salty Atlantic that laps the shores of Asbury), the painting demands surrender. It’s humbling. It’s challenging. And deeply satisfying when I finally go with the flow.
