The paintings have the appearance of landscape, but the artist concerns herself, not with the solidity of the land, but the elusiveness of mist, shadow and light. They are fleeting moments of a particular quality of sky that have the power to make us stop and look up. The locations are ambivalent. They are less specific to place than they are to the magic of weather, like the electrically charged energy of the air just before a storm.
