• Corners Series, 2008

  The concept of these drawings germinates once again in minimalism, the non-objective, and self-referentiality. Self-referentiality was and is, for me, a mainstay in an artist’s orientation in approaching any work at all. Configuring it is a means to appreciate the process as it goes forth and increase the artist’s mindfulness of the direction of the…

• Prepositional Drawings, 2008

  These drawings are all white marker on black gouache on white rag paper. They measure 30 inches in height by 44.5 inches in width. Even though Open and Closed are included in this series, the titles evoke a spare direction that is nearly prepositional. True to form, this series deals with the minimalism and directness…

• Three Geometric Drawings, 2002

  These are in a Private Collection in Charleston, SC. They are 22.25 inches square approximately and are charcoal pencil on rag paper. They are a portrait of my divorce. The divorce not only involved my husband and me, but also, more importantly, my son.

• Coming Alive Again, 2004

  These six drawings were a valiant effort to open up the thrill of creation. The wood template was still in use but beautifully, as if really alive and flexible. They are all mixed media on paper, sixty inches tall and are in two parts which make the width forty-five inches. Visually, they have a connection…

• Branch Shadows 1-8, 2021

  These black and white drawings are seminal to becoming settled in my new studio. The branch from the dead tree outside the back door of my new abode was going to be thrown away. The person who sold me my living and working space was aware of my work; he held it up one day…

• Four Panels, Mountain and Branches, 2021

  These panels reflect my new environment. The mountain “lines” represent the Berkshires in MA. And the branches images come from a template I made of a drawing I did of a branch broken off a dead tree/bush once planted outside my door. The incorporation of the drawings into the panel format demonstrates the influence of…

• Installation, 1981

  This installation image showing velvet going horizontally and lanyard vertically occurred at Berkshire Community College in Pittsfield, MA, in a Faculty Show. This is also the only time it has been created and was a combination of the materials I had been working with since I went to CalArts and later used in my exhibits…

• Beginning Painting, 2007

  There is never enough “beginning.” I was desperately seeking a means to dissolve the edges of the geometric templates at this time. As with any language, the characters are difficult to re-work, re-make into new means of communicating. Each part is sixteen inches square. The paintings are done with acrylic with some grease pencil enhancement.

• Untitled, Long, 2006

  I just discovered these drawings the other day when I was searching for something else. They are yet another statement rattling the template of the arc into grid formats. They are each 50 inches high by 21 inches width. All mixed media.

• Healing Quilt Series 1-9, 2006

  This series of drawings is one of the best explanations of my process coming out of using arc templates to create shapes, characters, and language. I did these after I did the three large Healing Series paintings. They are actually drawings for nine paintings. Each small square was intended to be 10 inches by 10…
