The field is the environment that we experience. Any occurrence that changes the equilibrium disturbs the field. The field is then in disequilibrium until it achieves new stability.
My vibrant abstract paintings are created in response to the world.  The election produced a seismic shift.  Returning to my work was difficult because I could not relate to the optimistic paintings that I started long before November 2016.
Fear and doubt motivated me to explore a different vocabulary of materials, colors and shapes. With this new approach, I will regain my balance and work toward deeper levels of expression.  I hope to communicate my humanity and curiosity with the viewer.
