Dallas,TX – September 2008 – As I processed my divorce, my paintings became a way of speaking pain and accepting loss. The initial theme of gardening came as a metaphor for my toil of grief. Out of The Garden, literally the breakup of our family, echoes the disruption of life in the Garden of Eden. Where Are You has two birds flying in a circle, one pursing the fleeing other, as was I in the spinning tango that included secrets.
The images of flowers, as in Taking the High Road, were painted as I am beginning to think about gardening and sowing and reaping anew.
