Meet
the
Artist
I live the South of France and I am drawn to paint the liminal spaces where the water and sky meet. My work is large. Huge when I have the opportunity of space and materials. There is something meditative and magical about painting so large that it requires your whole body to move. After twenty years as an Interior Designer, I keenly pay attention to how art changes how people feel in a space. As a fourth generation Painter, art rests deep within who I am.
Why I paint
I paint the places where I feel that sense of awe that humans experience when before a place of tremendous natural beauty. Small and yet part of something bigger and more beautiful than we realize.
Working in acrylics I layer dozens of coats of paint, often watered down until I can play with how they cling to the surface. Wood boards, rolls of canvas, theatre backdrop paper, bolts of fabric, I enjoy different textures as I search for larger and larger surfaces to paint on. I dream of painting in a field of canvas somewhere impossibly large like a cathedral or airplane hanger.
Being half Greek I often wonder if it's generations of ancient genes or ancestors that draw me to aqua water and blue sky or maybe I keep painting where my soul feels most at peace.
