Inspiration for Mannequin:
My mannequin grew out of my unconscious.
Lisbeth, is a little Dutch girl who dreamed she magically
flew into a Paris cafe and landed
in front of Coco Chanel who was having a glass of wine with Hugo Boss, Dior, Cartier and gentleman called Fendi. They
welcomed her and began talking of fashion and beauty. They talked of design,
and fabrics of wool and silk.
They offered her a lemonade and she beamed a speechless “yes”. They were gracious and friendly and asked if
she wished to have a position as an apprentice designer. “Why of course!” she screamed, and suddenly woke up with the
brightest heavenly look on her face.
Bio:
My interest in painting began with the Abstract Expressionists. I did not begin to paint seriously until 1993. In my paintings the decisions happen quickly. Quite often there are surprises that I have learned to accept.
I taught myself to paint by reading, and walking through many museums and galleries. I have taken summer classes and residencies in France, Greece and Italy in the past dozen years.
I benefited from the critiques which allowed me to better see my work. Most of what I have learned about painting has come from experimenting and taking risks.
