STATEMENT |
|
I have no agendas in my
artwork, work best when alone in my quiet studio. Plants
and houses appear in much of my work, both 2D and 3D in
bright colors. |
|
My work in recent years
generally consists of doing a mixed-media approach to
art: printmaking as a base (especially monotypes), with
elements of other work I've done; handmade paper, abstract
painting, alternative photography (cyanotypes) added.
I usually machine stitch these collage pieces. |
|
I have taught these techniques
at my FOGBELT STUDIO since 1996. I've given demonstrations
of printmaking in local collages, libraries, studios,
and galleries. I have always felt strongly about bringing
art and creativity into the community. |
