“Like a traditional landscape painter, she works with beauty, the natural world,
and one way of imaging the pastoral. The satellite images become a framework
for an abstract language in her paintings and prints. Aerial views of farmland
become non-repeating abstract pattern. Physical maps of mountainous terrain
become calligraphic lines on an open field. The images trace social, cultural, and
geographic boundaries. From these breakages, she traces her lines.”
