This is a Dyptich of our Planet Earth. So sorry, I could not get even lighting on both sides, check the additional images for better idea of color. Heavily textured cradled wood panels that give you Gods view of the planet we live on. Fields, mountains, bodies of water, rich minerals, all the things that make up the wonderful planet we live on. This piece is created using plaster, heavy body molding paste, glass beads, enamel and oil to simulate the richness of our earth and lands and is created in the spirit of preservation, which is our duty and should be the mission of all. Rich earth tones, whites, eggplant and blues accented with metallic bronze enamels.

I have always had a love for painting. Most of my life, I have been self-taught. I eventually got to the point that I felt I needed a formal education in art if I was going to take me art further. I enrolled in the College of Charleston and took classes as I had time. Last year, at the age of 69, I graduated with a B.F.A. in studio art. It has been quite a journey and I continue to experiment with new processes to create my art. I love to work with materials that move. I love how I can move charcoal around on paper, the way the brush moves the oil paint on the canvas, and the way the clay feels in my hands when I am sculpting. I am not a planner, I cannot see a painting or a drawing, before I begin, and though I somewhat plan the sculptures ahead of time, all of my works dictate to me what they become. Each stoke of the brush is dictated by the one just before it. For me, it is about the process, the color, the form, and most of all, the materials. I love to experiment with new materials and new processes and the challenge it presents to me. My work is about just seeing things differently and the exhilaration of being totally free. I believe that to love art is all about learning to see. After all, Paul Klee once said, “Art is not about reproducing something that is already visible, but rather making it visible.” Stella, when asked the meaning of his work, frequently replied that what you see, is what it is. For me, I want my viewers to experience my art not how I see it, but how they see it. It should be a personal experience that is different for each person. That experience should be visually pleasing, happy, or even disturbing, but not empty. I have started working with AI, feeding hundreds of images of my work into neural networks. Hours later, it produces newly interpreted images which are composed of thousands of bits and pieces taken from all my images. It is then the adventure begins. It’s terrifying yet exhilarating, it is pure chaos. The paintings I create from this point are not intended to make a statement; they are not meant to be “understood”, there is no hidden message. They are an experience in chaos, since we live in a world that is full of chaos, we must learn how to relate to it and fit in. Each piece is a reflection of me, and I have abandoned notions of what a good painting should look like and have given in to allow each new work to just become whatever it decides to be.
