Artist’s Statements about her work
Life is an oppurtunity with choices . It is also unpredictable .
As an Oncologist I have seen and experienced many facets of emotion , and this at times compels me to find a way to calm my own mind
I look for peace in simple things, people and nature
Art has been my means of finding my patch of sunshine since childhood.
In my clinical practice my patients were introduced to art and I found that with a little encouragement and guidance, they found a renewed purpose for not succumbing to the arrows Life threw at them . .
I use art as a conduit to vent my emotions . I read, experiment and observe other accomplished artists and explore .
My art which was earlier fast , abstract ,and a chaotic potpurri of scribbles and colour has mellowed, as I have, to slowly settle .
My act of drawing and painting has become meditative.
I work in graphite, charcoal, chalk and oils .
Portraits, Figurative , Plein air ( painting on location) and representational art ( artwork which depicts something which is easily understood or recognized by the viewer) is my passion .
Nature is my teacher along with those stalwarts who have worked so hard over centuries to perfect their art.
Art is Freedom and I do not want to restrict myself to any particular style or subject. I am exploring and learning .
I shall keep moving forward .
