I am an emotional painter who responds to the lines, shapes and colours - as I paint - never certain where I will finally land! Sometimes the initial marks get to survive as laid down but as I engage in the process of reviewing and revising, painting over and scratching through, reworking shapes and adjusting colour, they may disappear or change beyond recognition. Creating a finished painting is a process of addition and subtraction.

The WOMAN Show presents a particular challenge to me in terms of representing a woman or women so I choose to offer some paintings created by this woman, whose ideas and images that have been marinating for over seven decades!
