Searching through artifacts for source material is a way of accessing my process and painting procedure. This terrain informs my work which often leads me to return to my own history, which was filled with many persistent secrets and untold stories, the result of growing up in a household full of mystery...parents who came from Europe and wanted to erase and assimilate. Specifics were left out and my art making from my earliest memories was a way of making up my own visual stories. The use of collage, bits and pieces has also been a part of my palette. More recently I have been channeling selected artists who have been a part of my art family who act as a surround. Maybe it is a way of creating my own community...Matisse, Piero della Francesca, Robert Rauschenberg , Florine Stettheimer and the Russian poet, Anna Akhmatava have come into the pentimento of my painting history.
