Mostly, I am making work that percolates forth life\u2019s imperfections: that doesn\u2019t take decorum all that seriously, refusing to separate matters of taste from larger questions about \u201cgood behavior.\u201d The paintings are reactions to all sorts of sensuous events, from the casual encounter to highly formalized exchanges of lovemaking (and everything in between). Miniaturized schemes, which meander between love, desire, pleasure and tragedy; all channeled through seasonal changes. Burlesque-like and usually theatrical incidents, that allow for both empathy and \u201caddled\u201d folly, while projecting capricious irritability with comic bumps along the way.&#8221;<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Her most recent work <em>{yes, the unicorn!}<\/em> is currently in a group show, titled <em>&#8220;Round Hole\/Square Peg&#8221;<\/em>, that opened this past weekend at the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lubeznikcenter.org\/\">Lubeznik Center for the Arts<\/a>.
