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…

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…

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…

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…

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…

These drawing deal…

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.…

In 1978, my ex-husband and I bought a house in Worthington, MA. We had to leave Chester, MA where I had been working over a six month period for Edwin Schlossberg as his Executive Assistant and Research Associate. My ex-husband during that time wrote a music composition, Voices, for which he was awarded his doctorate…

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…
