About The Artwork
It was snowing lightly on a dark, grey December morning. My birthday was looming and I was feeling old. Trying to lighten up and embrace the day, I started to touch the canvas with spots of blue. I continued to layer and add scrapes of shape and bright color. I walked away to make myself a cup of tea and listened to Leslie Odom Jr. sing O Holy Night on Sonos. My heart leaped as I headed back to the piece. I read Sylvia Plath's poem and decided to name the painting after her excellent words. The Winter House. Where I was living and working. Who am I not to be grateful? By midday, I swept across the canvas with a scrim of white and the love affair with this piece began. I hope viewers can feel the sense of hope in the milkweed stems as well as the blue patches of possibility, despite our dark moments.

United States
The source of my creativity has been ever present during my entire life, an unstoppable energy and imagination that were used throughout my student days, and subsequent careers and always appeared through my approach to projects, problem-solving, and a long career working with books, literacy, and social justice in our prisons. I explored dark and light contrasts in art during the pandemic when my beloved work shut down and I found that painting in a crowded corner of unused space with a cheap, wobbly easel began to reignite my missing pieces. Through persistence, and by submerging myself in learning ways with color, balance, and movement of paint on the canvas, the self-doubt has quieted, and memories and the subconscious fuel my work. I want my work to excite, comfort, and be an enduring source of delight.
