I can't walk by produce without being stopped in my tracks by the sheer beauty of the ordinary. A simple beet with a leafy top, small marks across the outer layer, I couldn't help but be inspired. Rather going home and cooking it, I started to draw with my X-ACTO knife digging into the layers of India ink and clay. When I was happy with the forms, I began to paint with colored inks until it began to come alive. I like to mix the black leave some of the shapes the pure black and white to set off the deep colors. I layered black acrylic paint across the background to add the texture of soil and make the image pop!

Most of my career was spent as an Art Director/Designer. After a 2006 cancer diagnosis, I followed my dream of making art full time. I began a search for non-toxic materials and found these hard boards which are covered in a fine white clay with a layer of India ink on top. When I draw with an X-ACTO knife into the layer of ink, fine lines magically appear in the clay. The more pressure I put on my knife, the brighter the white clay appears. If I want to add color,I paint with colored inks after etching into the boards.To add even more texture, I add heavy, black acrylic paint throughout the background at the end of the process. My innate ability to notice even the most minute details in nature translates into meticulous art, compelling the viewer to take a closer look. My art is in private collections, has won prestigious awards, residencies and fellowships, and has been requested for exhibitions throughout the world.
