    My current work, as a painter, is interactive and personal. Patterns of communication, relationships, and personalities are represented through family portraits. I am interested in dissecting characteristics and connecting them visually. Rather than nostalgia, memory serves as a visual history. The portraits become metaphors for maps describing time, place and linear movement.

    From her garden
    (Colorado State University. Libraries, 1995) Ferguson, Ann A., author; Dietemann, David L., advisor; Yust, Dave, 1939-, committee member; Sullivan, Patrice M., committee member; Silberberg-Peirce, Susan, committee member
    Knowing that beauty is a subjective response, I work diligently to translate my response into a broader visual expression. Accentuation of value, color, and implied movement is the formal vehicle for that translation. I select subject matter, that of vegetables, fruits, flowers, baskets and tablecloths, for both formal and psychological reasons. The chosen imagery refers to the "garden" of my childhood and to the challenges of growing up, leaving home and meeting the world with all its complexities. Painting is a recreation of my odyssey.

    Painting: a transitional process
    (Colorado State University. Libraries, 1990) Rezny, Christy L., author; Yust, Dave, 1939-, advisor; Dietemann, David L., committee member; Twarogowski, Leroy A., committee member; Kwiatkowski, Ronald W., committee member; Gill, Ann M., committee member
    These paintings bring my personal experiences to canvas. They are paintings about the painting process itself. Although they may have had arbitrary beginnings, they eventually evolved into cohesive compositional wholes.
