When I was working on this painting, my husband was watching this show on Netflix about Marco Polo and kept talking to me every morning about it, so somehow the excitement of his adventures stuck in my mind. Hence the exotic title of the painting, inspired by the Netflix show. I Enjoyed using shapes, colors, forms, and gestural marks to achieve its effect.
“I enjoy playing with and rearranging colors, lines, and shapes to create
images that I want to look at. I want my work to be surprising, playful, and
provocative. Some of my paintings are doors, others windows. They are all
portals. I continue to use these symbols because they are a joyous and
mysterious language that is somehow both deeply personal and universal.”
