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…

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…

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.

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…

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…

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…

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.

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…

In the 80’s, I did so many pastels, there was at least a half-inch of pastel dust on my first studio floor. I stopped doing them because the dust was going to affect my breathing and that of my family. These pastels were quite large, up to 100 inches across. They were hanging on a…

These drawings are all small, five and half inches by four and a half inches. Pigmented pen on black rag paper. The “character” designation manifests my concern with developing a language of sorts, even though no character means anything, only itself. This group of nine was not the only time I dealt with this stepping…
