How do you express the elements of art with your passion

for the land?  Through the magic of Mixed-Media.

​

The environment is the unifying theme for my Wild Florida

and Beyond series in progress. Some works depict images

of ocean, mountain, forest, rock, sun, moon and/or air.

Each created for its own sake. The viewer is challenged to discover new ways of seeing and thinking about the earth. Media examples include acrylic, pencil, weave, intaglio combined with natural materials. [Look for the word peace

in other languages within the textures.]

​

During the 2020 lockdown and the approaching hurricane season, I experimented painting on hurricane wood shutters used for a small and studio window. I began with abstract

spiral studies, but my brushes made hues of wild flora

appear over these.

​

Initially, the camera was used as a tool in addition to other visual media. However, I soon realized the power and

beauty of earth imagery alone (Nature up-close, personal

and distant).  The interplay of light and pattern offered

another way to view the earth.
