ARTIST'S STATEMENT
My individual style is derivitive of the New York School art movement genre of abstract expressionism. Additionally, I incorporate expressionist painting influences, derived from the CoBrA art, German Expressionism, in creating my personal brand, of representational, expressionist painting.
Taking formal techniques from the CoBrA and New York School art movement, I blend subliminal nuances emanating from sources of inspiration, that are as diverse as Japanese calligraphy to the tribal art, of the Dogon.
Utilizing a layering of abstract expressionist painting applications, I reference the oevres of expressionist artists that includes: Jackson Pollock, Lee Krasner, Joan Mitchell, Willem deKooning, Hans Hofmann, Robert Motherwell, and lesser known, abstract expressionism art movement painters.Representational techniques have been strongly influenced by the bold, vibrant, and colorful expressionist painting genre of significant CoBrA art movement icons, including: Cornielle, Karel Appel, Rooskens, Eugene Brands, Lucebert and Asger Jorn.<
I prefer to work in mixed media, incorporating gesso, tempera, acrylic, enamel and oil on canvas. As a student of international artist from Berlin, Peter Keil, my idiom has become more expansive. A founding member of the Wilden Grosse movement, with Elvira Bach and Ranier Fetting, Peter Keil is widely acknowledged as a student of Miro.
As a female artist,.I think that it is vital, to address issues, making social awareness statements thru art. I seek to expand creative thinking, by stimulating the individual to observe subtleties and nuances..." "This has become a Global Mission, as the really basic issues, concern us all.
"As such, I define myself as an international artist. Thru the creative process, I address the exploration of the human psyche; painting about the common issues that bind us all."
" If I can facilitate awareness, tolerance, compassion, goodness and mercy...basic consciousness elevation, thru, fostering enhanced aesthetic appreciation....then. I will have made my point. Although my mission is definitive, my art is not yet fully defined...essentially, I'm still a work in progress!"
