I belong to the “Women Painters of Washington” which is celebrating its 90th year in 2020. This piece is a reflection on all that has transpired over the organization’s 90-year history.
I have been influenced by many women artists who have paved the way and inspired me. The most famous would be Georgia O’Keeffe for her abstractions and Helen Frankenthaler for her color field paintings. I am also inspired by Emily Mason’s use of color and Joan Konkel’s inventive use of materials. There are many others.
This piece “rolls it all into one” for me. Various parts of the composition pay tribute to those who came before me. I am indebted to their strong voices and tenacity.
