Black Scratchbords® by Ampersand Art Supply helped me to turn a negative into a positive during my 2006 cancer diagnosis. Getting lost in the details while etching into boards made of clay and ink; I was transported into a world where lines morphed into shapes, patterns and textures converging into sophisticated works of art. I still visit that magical space while creating new and exciting ways of describing beauty.
My Environmental Movement series is heavily influenced by Eco-Psychology, the study of emotional connections between humans and the natural world. My art produces the same sensations of wonder, harmony and timelessness that we experience while connecting with nature.
Spontaneous Combustion creates the illusion of 3 dimensions by layering line over line. Relying heavily on my discoveries of the natural world, I intertwine abstract shapes with elements from nature creating exciting designs that wind their way across the page.
Interaction and Clearly Interacting is composed of free form figures working together to create a barrier against ignorance and fear. Some of my drawings are done on clear panels, others on scratchboards. All are designed to visually develop multiple layers of interaction.
Since I don’t sketch first, I am constantly surprised as my art unfolds. I hope that you experience that same feeling while viewing my art.
