El Sobrante Studio #9, The Jefferson Painting, 2005 Print - Limited Edition of 1

In 1991 I began a series of very large mono-printed finger paintings.After making the original finger painting on glass I would print it on panels of pressed fiber material. I would join all the panels together, and then continue to paint in a manner suggested by the original finger painting. I would basically develop the content by imagining forms in the complexity of the marks, and bringing those forms more to life. I never had any idea what the paintings would be like until I discovered them. I so enjoyed these very large, lengthy puzzles which I always had ongoing in my studio between 1991 and 2009. During this very demanding duration of my fulltime elementary school teaching career, the finger-paintings allowed me to keep my hand at work in the studio, without creating the god awful splashy mesh that most of my previous work demanded, as I no longer had the freedom to work that way. This began in 2003 and was completed by 2005.
