In India, she was immersed in a world of spectacular colors out of which emerged a new color palette: yellows of marigold, tints of coral, tangerine, mango, flame-orange, ochre, aubergine and sienna, the fullest range of blues, greens, violets and all the compliments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe horned and antlered animal paintings explore the relationship between ancient art and the contemporary imagination through thick impasto paint, incised lines and expressive brushwork. Pitched on the edge of abstraction, the images may be read as animal, abstraction, landscape or still life. Each painting begins with a rectangle that is bisected or divided into areas of color to activate the balance of forms, the relationships of color and the behavior of the materials. Imagination and materials lead the way. The image is present and absent at the same time.
