• Transparent Leaves, 2024

  This drawing was created out of the desire to return to the studio after a two-week bout with Covid. Being sick with the virus was the first and only time I had contracted it. The format for the work deals with several elements and patterns I had already used in the past. I dove into…

• Conglomeration Series 1-15, 2023

  Way back when somewhere in the midst of 2023, I began the series that I thought would tell the story of my art-making since the 70s. I told the story in The Artful Mind (pages 22-31) that goes like this: In the 90s, I saw a retrospective of the work of Jasper Johns in which…

• Towards the Light, 1998-99

  When I started to make these complicated wall-hung relief pieces, I had no idea that I would eventually title them Towards the Light. The title is a metaphor for my Mother’s death, which occurred on April 29, 1999.  The twelve works are each made in three steps. The canvas was made by gluing canvas to…

• 11 different Views, 1979

  In preparing these drawings for posting, I had to put them through Photoshop in an effort to bring the images back from the depths of poor quality. In doing so, I valiantly tried to read the year written by my signature. I managed to see two years, ’77 and ’79. It made the most sense…

• Colored In Coloring Book Pages 1-42, 2023

  A discovery after I made Coloring Book Pages 1-42 was incorporated into the title of that series. The shapes that had been isolated with black ink lines could be seen on their own viably as mere shape, unrelated to the photographic image of which they were a part. So I decided to use a fine…

• Syntactical Shifts, Installation Space, November, 2023

  It was only after I had dismounted my installation at Installation Space in North Adams, MA that its owner informed her followers that the gallery was closing. Instead the space would be used as a revolving entity to bring visiting artists and the local arts community together. My work was chosen for the last show…

• Spiritual Space, 1999

  The three images below represent groups of nine drawings which are meant to be shown one group next to the other. They are 22-1/4 inches square with approximately 1/2 inch between the drawings in the layout. All together the groups would display at about 235 inches horizontally and 67 inches in height. These drawing deal…

• Spiritual Landscapes, 1999

  My mother died at the age of 73 on April 29,1999. Coincidentally with her death, my entire life went sideways. My ex-husband was in China when I shared the news of her death. He said he would come back to the US for her memorial. My father picked him up at the Charleston, SC airport.…

• Shock of Severance, 2000

  The nine images shown here are the only ones I have ever made in response to an overwhelming emotion. My ex-husband left me in his mind and body long before I ever put his belongings on the porch of our house in Worthington. His change of heart happened after he attended with me and my…

• Stacking Series, Arcs & Rectangle Series, 1997

  In the late 90s, I was using templates to create the most beautiful objective images possible. I still have the templates, worn on the edges and colored with the residue of whatever drawing implement passed by them to make uniform lines. The geometric forms had become for me elements that did not mean anything but…
