Works on Paper

I am a recently retired Clinical Social Worker. As a retired person, I am redirecting my focus to my interest in creativity and the arts.

My art invites viewers to consider the interplay between light and shadow, the poignancy of memory, and the subtle undercurrents of emotion that shape our lives.

Using graphite and colored pencils, I am attempting to re-create the feeling of old Japanese hand-tinted photographs.

My images are impromptu snapshots of the world as I walk around in it. Once captured I then explore the image and work to reveal the story that is within.

I strive to explore issues of meaning, context, authorship, and creativity, using fresh personal formal techniques.

River Rocks is a two-plate etching, using copper plates, printed on somerset paper. Both plates are aquatints. On the first, I drew lines close together using a sharpie to resist the acid. On the second, I drew rock forms and used asphaltum to block the shapes to etch them.

These pieces are a fantasy geology where divergent continents collide, which actually happens, although not in this exact configuration. But the layers of geology also point to layers of time, in this case not so far in the past with a lava flow from maybe 500 years ago and glacier ice that is probably not more than one thousand years old that crumbled into the sea at Palmer Station, Antarctica.

I use an expressionist combination of materials to engage portraiture and cityscape through the lens of social theory, creating interpretations of the home, the subway, the street, and other complex social arenas.
