Like many other artists, and for that matter, all of us, I continue to be impacted by COVID 19/Black Lives Matter. This series, Helter Shelter was born as a response to what is going on in our world. While the compositions appear upbeat, they are more like jazz, filled with every emotion. This is the outcome of allowing myself to get lost in the mark making. Watching my lines appear as I spontaneously etch into the layers of clay and India ink transports me to a better place. My hope is that the collector who purchases this art finds themselves right there with me. Keywords:

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.
