These paintings are based on my experience of my husband's family's home in Otis, MA in the Berkshire Mountains. More to come...

Drawings
13Dec09Coming from photography, as I do, I've learned to draw on my own to a large extent, and in different ways depending on where I am, what I have at hand, and what feels right. I've picked up valuable lessons from various painting instructors-- mostly Sharon Sprung and Lorraine Shemesh at National Academy of Design School of Fine Arts in New York. I just completed a drawing class with John Lees at New York Studio School, and am about to begin a two-week drawing intensive with Graham Nickson also at New York Studio School. I've heard great things about the course and am very much looking forward to it.

Backyard Barbeque
09Nov09
These paintings are based on a short length of 8mm film from the home movies of a friend, from 1966. When I saw it, I loved the deep shadows, sunlit squares of grass, and the outfits and attitudes of the family members and friends. It made me think of growing up, and of all the adult conversations we overhear when we're 12 or 14.
