I
studied painting at Massachusetts College of Art in Boston, and also
at the Vermont Studio School in Johnson, VT. I have had the great
fortune to have outstanding teachers: Barnet Rubenstein, Rob Moore,
Stephen Pace, Elsa Kula and Davis Pratt.
These charcoal drawings are large-scale
studies of leaves, seed-pods and flowers gathered in the desert Southwest.
As they dry, they fade and twist and re-form into new shapes. By moving
in close, the picture plane becomes filled with movement and light
through pattern and repetition. By looking closely I feel drawn in
to slow down and see just what is there.
My work can also be seen at Two Graces
in historic Ranchos de Taos Plaza. |
