Layers and layers exist within an Iris, all we have to do is pay attention! Using a magnifying glass I studied everything and adapted what I saw to a Black Scratchboard, boards made out of clay and India Ink. By drawing all of the intricate designs with an X-Acto knife, I'm able to capture the lyrical movements of an Iris.

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.
