For the past few months I've been occupying three states of mind.

"THE SUCK OF THE GAME", 24 X 19 ACRYLIC AND PENCIL ON PAPER
1. I feel overwhelmed, sad, and exhausted.  Bleh. I see too much bad news, bad-intentioned people, and too many important issues that need attention.

"OFF TO KICK ASS", 24 X 19, ACRYLIC AND PENCIL ON PAPER
2.  I feel like a warrior-goddess, ready to march into the unknown, kick some ass, and make a change in the world.

EVERYDAY ME, APPROX 202 X 20, ACRYLIC AND PENCIL ON PAPER
3.  I feel capable, loving and creative.  I know who I am, and what I have to do.  I paint, read, write and do what needs to be done.

I am painting from each of these three spaces.  The intensity of our times has led me to experiment with simplicity and constraint. My color palette is more subdued.  My imagery is less refined and more gestural.  There is one over-arching theme about relationships and taking care of one another. Because my shows for the year are all set up, I can concentrate on painting for them.  I'm doing less in the studio and experiencing an expansion of freedom and possibility in my painting.
