My artwork reflects my love of Nature,
color and design. In my primary medium, serigraphy (or silkscreen
printing,) I turn patterns and shapes that I observe in Nature
into complex, colorful, layered prints. Often I focus on one
image, a skeletonized leaf, for example, or an old tree. In
each case, I stretch my imagination as I explore new approaches,
experimenting with different design and color variations.
I have also integrated realistic images, which I created from
drawings, with abstract patterns. In addition, I make collages
from some of my silkscreen prints. Illustrated above is one
of a series I call "Retro Works."
Other media I have worked in are white-line
woodcuts, mono-prints, watercolor and colored pencil. Recently
I have produced some miniatures, using watercolor and colored
pencil.
I studied Fine Arts at Syracuse University
for two years, then received a B.A. degree with Honors in
Art and Education from the University of Delaware, and an
M.F.A. degree in Graphics at The George Washington University.
Since then I have taught in many centers and schools in the
area, most recently at Montgomery College in Germantown, Maryland.
Currently I teach for Arts for the Aging in senior centers
in the Metropolitan area. Since 1979, I have been a regular
contributor to The Original Print Calendar, sponsored by the
Washington Area Printmakers. I have been affiliated with the
Torpedo Factory for 26 years.
