  • I make paintings I want to experience. It's not about what I want to see. It's about what I want to experience. Each time, it feels radically new.

  • My working process on these paintings involves continual changes in texture, form, and color that develop during each studio work session until the piece is realized, insisting on its own eccentric presence in the world.

  • Much of contemporary art practice has avoided outright beauty. I want to remain vulnerable to beauty. I want to be stopped in my tracks by something I call beautiful that I have never noticed or seen before.

  • Surviving Hurricane Eiwa in Hawaii changed my work from romantic realism to a hybrid combination of realism and abstraction of botanical forms.

  • I use the act of painting to try to go places that are previously uninhabited or unexplored, inside myself.

  • As a young girl from a farming village in Ohio I began my journey to becoming an artist with international exhibitions and having work in museum collections.
