CHESCO, 8

With technical inspiration taken from a 19th C French glass-casting technique known as pate de verre, my glass assemblages are created in a kiln by fusing sugary particles of lead crystal. The individual elements are first hand-carved in wax or cast directly from botanicals; and once transformed into glass, are combined to create multicolored jewel-like objects I refer to as talismans (hand-held, free-standing and wall-mounted) and a variety of one-of-a-kind sculptural constructions including vessels, goblets and flacons. Imbued in each object is a reference to historical artifact, a sense of preciousness and the intangibility, yet familiarity that is associated with collaged memory. Many of the parts incorporated into the works are influenced by Buddhist iconography. From this vocabulary of symbols, often featured are plant and human forms, including the hand motif as it represents a ubiquitous cross-cultural human tool of expression, through its symbolic gestures of friendship, generosity, holding, letting go, etc.

I am an author-turned-artist who now gets her biggest charge from creating with paint and other materials rather than words. Most of my art is abstract and colorful. Even when working a with still life I prefer to render it in a somewhat abstract form, capturing the energy of the forms rather than an exact replica of what is before me.

For the last year I have worked on a series of paintings inspired by maps or chart-plotter images. Some these were commissions by people with vacation homes or boats on the water who wanted an unusual way to honor and reflect their favorite coastal location. I am also a huge fan of graphics and have also worked on a series of large and small Matisse-inspired gold stars on a field of color.

I am lucky enough to work out of a charming studio at the end of an Allee of Chinese fringetrees in my Malvern backyard.

I aim to organize color and space on panels, to last longer than the ever changing, to capture something slimy and more than, like a salamander, and fragile.

Watercolor, colored pencil, ink and collage are the mediums I use to create a visual story. I am inspired by my gardens, botanicals, animals, and children’s literature. Weaving these contextual elements together, along with different mediums-my artwork is expressive in nature. It is an exploration of visual elements, illustrative storytelling with a whimsical approach. I often use the simplistic nature of a pencil and paper to begin creating my ideas and artwork. By adding in color, composition and design elements into the thought process my artwork unravels into a visual expression of nature.

My paintings primarily involve scenes from my everyday life in and around Chadds Ford or memories from my past. Wether it be family members, friends or a special location, each painting is an attempt to convey my feelings about the subject at that particular moment. There's an immediacy while working that, upon completion, transforms into something that will live for years to come.
