Out in the field, she paints studies of the landscape to be used for larger works in the studio. The flow of light is a key element, inspired by the Dutch master painters. “It’s so Dutch!” is a comment on her work that she…
Read MorePrimarily executed in oil, using aggressive brushwork and multiple glazing layers, each piece begins as a rapid sequence of arcing gestures and, like a photograph coming into focus, they develop as paintings, emerging from chance; exploring the encounter between the natural and the perceived world.

She has been drawing since she was old enough to hold a pencil and painting since she was 13. She earned…
