Artist’s Statement
I create constructed digital images that blur the line between painting and photography. This duality of aesthetics is an essential component of my approach to art and life. I am drawn to the polarities of beauty and decay, the contrived and the natural, the excessive and the elegant.
All of my compositions begin with originally-sourced imagery selected from photographs I shoot in my studio or on location in mid-coast Maine, where I live half the year, or in my neighborhood and surroundings in Tel Aviv, Israel, where I reside for the other half, as well as on my extensive travels here and abroad.
As an active participant in the feminist movement of the 1970s, the principles of inclusion, equality, and justice underlie my work in the breadth of source material and the embrace of beauty in all its forms.
