About
I have lived and worked in Taos for the past 45 years. When UNM Taos developed a print making program, I returned to the classroom to relearn some of the processes I had been exposed to in art school at the University of Oklahoma. I am now combining drawings in ink in my most recent projects and am most interested in mark making. I love the spontaneity and directness of this process and have printed these works by hand on kuzo paper.
Artist Statement
My environment and surroundings have influenced me greatly as my life and my work have developed over the years. These current monotypes relate to the terrible firestorm that happened in Louisville, Colorado on Dec. 31, 2021 and left some 4000 families homeless in just a few chaotic hours. As family was living in this area, their safety and well-being caused me to reflect on this horrific event with these monoprints being my way of imagining this difficult day.
