Lift ing As We ClimbCelebrating the Achievements of Women At UNH
Artist Statement: Mywater media works are madeMy water media works are made
intuitively and with improvisation. Often
meaning and image are found in the
directions of the repetitive swirls or the
combinations of the colors. These small
works are made aggressively but because
of their size and the qualities of the
materials they have a delicacy of touchmaterials, they have a delicacy of touch
that is the opposite of the
experimentation I employ to make them.
The combination of spontaneity and
refinement is, I believe, a strong
characteristic in the work. To me the
synthesis of contradictions makes these
works in part a reflection ofworks, in part, a reflection of
contemporary female identity.
