floating up and beyond

drawing this collage right now with slowing traffic below...

strutting her stuff

My female protagonist is made from print matter.... things Ive found and bits I treasure....

Her mouth is the Mona Lisa smile.

suspense no longer, she is nestle

I just love to get the ideas out there... this is my drawing of my female protagonist hovering amongst the rambling rose undergrowth.  I am calling this work Nestle, and the etching is following this drawing.  I am currently working on a second plate to go with the rose etching plate.  

The drawings and etchings are part of a series of works where I am exploring the female form using photocollage.   In the etchings and drawings, the oval shape is taken from a mirror so that the viewer is looking through the looking glass....

secret pleasures

I lifted the beautiful art paper and saw the print for the first time....such a delicious secret pleasure....i wanted broody darks and moody atmosphere.... and got it!!!  I am now working on another plate to go with this and will keep you in suspense about its subject matter for now.....

skimming the surface

I actually did it... got up and was water skiing and felt like I was flying along the surface of the water..... what a blast... did have to hold on for grim death.... next time more sight seeing going to happen.... and cross wash... a definite adventure for my female protagonist to pursue....

pulling a print

Working on drawing and etching the photo collages too.  Have to give them a different look tho.... with etching going for the broody velvety darks of etching....  here is a pic of me pulling off the print at the press....

she is on a journey

The works are large scale photographic prints about a female protagonist on a transformative journey of sensation, experience and change- in herself and her surroundings.
