GENRE “Landscapes, interior spaces, the human figure, the sea, amphibians, symbolic icons (Ukrainian eggs, Spools of Thread) - these are all subjects I've painted over my 35 years as an artist. Three years ago, I was inspired by my mother in law's sewing drawer to paint images of spools of thread. The spool, such a humble icon, full of utilitarian simplicity holds a current of meaning, stirring memories and family stories from one generation to the next. What began as a personal exploration connecting me to the women of my family who sew, literally and symbolically, evolved to include all of humanity and how we are all 'sewn' into a fabric called the world".
