141 Bodyparts, black & white, 2005-2023
The most emotionally difficult years of my life were the ones immediately following the finalization of a divorce from a marriage that had lasted twenty-five years. No one asked how I felt or how I was getting along. I was simply empty, so uncertain as to how to proceed, humiliated, emasculated as a woman, and…

Loops, marker and colored pencil, 2014
In 2014, I seemed to have been relishing in the representation of my work by Cross MacKenzie Gallery. Therefore, I neglected to photograph many drawings. The three groups below are among them. The media for the first group of four are silver marker and putty beige colored pencil. They are each ten inches square. The…

Black and White Twigs, 2022
In my pursuit of a consistent statement with the photograph above, which I believe to be one of the most powerful images I have ever photographed, I made 15 black and white images of groups of twigs that I grabbed from a pile that was not the aforementioned pile but a different pile of smaller…

False Screens 1 and 2, 2022-3
These two pieces are an effort to employ a design format emanating from Japanese culture. It is my intention to begin to put together the present elements of my work in one place or in one place many times. The only addition I have made to the materials I use, i.e. pigmented pen and markers…

The second phase of my picture taking begins. Drawing with Nature 106 through 116, posted on 11/4/22, my…

Drawing with Nature, 1 through 100, 2022, continuing series
A long while ago, I placed some flowers I was drying out on a table in my studio. On the table also were some sheets of paper I use to protect the drawings I do from any dirt that is on my right arm while drawing. On these pieces of paper, I sometimes make squiggles…

34 Branch Drawings, 2022
It took a year to determine how to use the thirty-four pictures I took of the drawing below. This drawing was so difficult to do, that is, imitating the image of an 8 x 10 photo of branches, that I took pictures moving across and down the drawing to ensure that I could retain the…

20 Twig Scans, 2022
Once I had created shapes out of the photographs of the twigs, by drawing around both the image of the twig and the shadow of the twig, I made scans of the original drawings so I could trace them for other sets of drawings. These are the first set of scans. Another group of scans…
