Jombi Supastar, “A Patch of Blue” acrylic, collage and glitter, 20’x16”, 2025
I’ve been enraptured by painting ever since my father took me to see work by Henri Matisse at the Philadelphia Museum of Art when I was twelve. Seeing work by Bosch, Blake, and Basquiat in Museums and Galleries is vastly more wonderful than seeing reproductions. Having now painted for over four decades, I still love to paint, in fact I am compelled to paint almost daily. I feel the most grounded and joyful when creating works of art. Art is good for me. I like to think it can be good for others as well. I want to bring a sense of magic and a touch of humor to this sometimes troubling world - beauty too! My work is often narrative in nature, exploring the realms of the subconscious, the nether worlds and the sphere of the nature spirits. My art is an expression of the multi-dimensionality of perception and of the many layered nature of my spirituality and sexuality. Evolving into collage, my work is dense, complicated, and spectacular, like life. I want to communicate the sense of excitement and to create excitement on its own.
