• 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…

• 20 Twig Photographs with Drawings, 2022

  These pieces are another step in the process of building on the basis of my twig photographs in the creation of the Metaphysical Alphabet. These pieces are also framed and the reflections of my studio or me appear in the photos.

• 20 Twig Photographs, drawings and shapes, 2022

  These twenty pieces are an extension of the photographs of twigs that I originally took towards the creation of Metaphysical Alphabet. Just as there are many words that can be formed with the any language alphabet so there can be endless iterations of the forms dealt with in the Twig photos. Each piece in this…

• My body, my earth, my activism,standing 2020-2

  Continuing the story from my first entry about my passion for how I behave as one with elements of my natural environment, I decided to photograph myself standing as I interacted with long branch trimmings hanging from the ceiling of the studio. The trimmings are painted gold because I wanted to seal them. They were…

• Thirty-Four Photographs,2021-2

  In 2021, I took this picture of apple tree branches spread out on my drawing table. I had to stand on a stool and hold the camera about eight feet above the surface in order to frame the entire image. After I took this picture, I began to do this drawing. Once I completed this…

• Black Wall Drawing, 2013

  At one point, I decided to leave working on paper behind and managed to drop any mistrust of my capacity to draw a coherent statement on the wall. This is one of my first attempts on my studio wall; I painted it out when I decided to do another. The piece is seventy-two inches in…

• My body, my earth, my activism, 2020-2

  It is June 25, 2022, the day after the Supreme Court of the United States began to take away our human rights with the reversal of Roe V. Wade, and the Republican party could blatantly roll out its conspiracy to uproot our freedoms. Two and a half years ago, I was on the cusp of…

• Metaphysical Alphabet 1-20, 2022

  The major intention of my artwork as a whole is to communicate ideas, compounded with a background in conceptual art, minimalism, and a desire to draw rather than paint. In the course of 2021, my focus was to reboot an art language that had essentially lost its breath during 2020 when I replaced doing art…

• Branches and Lines, 2022

  Branches and Lines is very large. It is based on the photograph below. This photograph was taken on my drawing table in my North Adams studio. I scattered apple tree branches across the table randomly to document them. The branches were part of a sculpture that I placed outside when I lived in Worthington to…

• Art as the First Course

  Published originally on September 23, 2010 Making visual art is easy for me. Writing is more of a challenge. I started writing when I began to immerse my life in music, because I was catapulted into solitude after my ex-husband left me, lo, these many years ago. My focal points had shifted. I turned inward.…
