I create my images by an innovative application of patina chemicals onto a traditional canvas support.  I incorporate traditional ink drawing techniques with the mixed media patina paint.  This new technique is intrinsically related to the sense of touch and the additive and subtractive process experienced in the art of sculpting.  Using applied solvents, palette knives and other sculpting tools, I make scrapings and carve into the toned canvas surface removing paint, leaving ghost-like images carved into the stone like surface.  I combine silhouettes, contemporary cyber-icons, and markings of our ancient ancestors to complete my statements. Through this mode of creativity, if I can communicate and can awaken within the viewer, a deeper connection to and the understanding of the dilemma contemporary woman is facing, then I feel I will have accomplished some measure of success.
