Hibernation

Back at last, after those long winter months in an artistic latency during which the act of painting is a long process of interiorization. With the arrival of the cold season, interaction between the artist and her work looks like a long, unending and arduous marathon, the result being a lesser production but one essential for the year to come.

But come spring and all that past period reveals itself, my vision has changed and I suddenly seize the meaning of this long inward journey.

Cleaning

February 2009, a big housecleaning led to a forgotten treasure:
A pencil self-portrait drawn in 1984.

Cleaning 

Everything in its place.

One thing at a time.

Tomorrow is another day.

I take care amidst my disorder...

I swim in my sorrow.

Every breath greets hope,
every breath chases everything I don't want anymore.

I drive into my pleasure and get reborn at my life.

Painting gives me the key to my essence... I AM.

Trough painting, I sort out, give more thoughts, enlighten

darken, question and put the accent on the most important.

Through painting, I clear my soul of the unnecessary and

welcome what characterizes me... the meaning of my own existence.
