INNER SPACE and SOUL is a body of work relating to women: their feelings, issues, image and varying external pressures. It also deals with the positive and negative relationships between men and women, and women’s fragmented role in society, this phase is nearing completions. The LOVERS sequel is a complete but small body of work. The works are intricate drawings on paper, using handmade paper, fabrics, feathers, and a variety of other materials. These increase the tactile and textural effects o0f the pieces. As a departure from my prior style I have created two new series. INSISDE an abstract drawing series and TAPESTRY a vibrant abstract acrylic on paper series. In addition I am producing miniature semi-abstract acrylic on paper series. The individuality of these series, combining an intellectual and emotional approach has brought about extremely favorable responses.

Biography
My artwork is based on the basic fundamentals of drawing.

From this central core I have expanded my mediums to include:

Drawing mixed with collage and handmade papers, watercolor, water color with collage, acrylics of special processed and treated papers.

I produce detailed and tactile drawings that both bring the viewer in close and then step back to enjoy the totality as well.
This allows for an intimate relationship between the art and viewer.

It is my hope that this involvement will pass on to the viewer some of the emotions that have helped me top create each individual piece.
