Artists Statement

I am sure there are no statements that I can make about art that have not already been made.  But there are statements about myself … like … I know that when i free myself to express myself I feel alive, my passion soars.  I know that I have not always allowed myself this freedom – I am coming back to self-expression after a 25 year break, self-induced imprisonment … sounds so illogical, so crazy, doesn’t it?   Fear chased me away, fear of ?  Sharing myself, having to be better technically, not being “deep” enough emotionally & intellectually … there was that film professor who told me my work was “too feminine”  .. that must be “wrong”, right?  Scared to death, I pushed it all inside & told myself that I would come back to it, back when I had to do it & no one could judge me & I didn't have to make a living, I could just express for the sake of expressing. 

I have lost a lot of time in creating, but I have still been on the journey … It has brought me back here & I really don’t care what anyone thinks, if it is “good enough”, if it is “deep enough”, if it is too damn feminine … I just know I have to express again & that I can do it just for the sake of doing it … so I am.   

Sharing my soul …… my body older, my heart younger, my soul ageless … no limits, no boundaries, no isolation … wanting to be with others who share their soul too … freedom, intimacy, self-expression, love … all possibilities I want to be a clearing for… I have this real knowledge that there is work to be done & a legacy to be left for those after me – that is what Women Artists Rising is to me … and my art? It is just another extension, another way to deliver the fruits of the journey now …
