Falling (2023)

Another drawing with scissors piece. On the left side of the piece I was trying to capture the sense of tumbling or falling.

Let Peace, Reign. (2022)

I don’t know about you, but I sure feel like our world needs a little peace these days. I am personally praying for peace in our world, in my community, and in my own heart.

This piece is part of a series of paper cutouts that I started a month or so ago. I am deriving such great joy working with this new technique.

DWS no. 7 (2022)

Sherehe (2022)

Felt this new paper cutout abstract piece conveys the idea of celebration. In Swahili, one word for celebration is, “Sherehe.”

What a beautiful word for the beautiful human experience of enjoying & expressing life’s joy-filled moments.

DWS no. 6 (2022)

This one is entitled, “The Bell Tolls.” I love the vibrancy of the colors and lines here juxtaposed with the black background. This piece delights me.

DWS no. 5 (2022)

“Drawing with scissors…” work #5. Henri Matisse, near the end of his life & career, started creating art images from gouache painted pieces of paper & then cutting those colorful pages into shapes & designs. That technique has been truly inspiring to me. Really enjoying playing with my construction paper cutouts.

Fractured (2022)

This is a new piece. Cut construction paper on white card stock. Learning to make paper do what I used to count on my brushes for.

Untitled 2020

This is a mixed media watercolor and acrylic on paper. This piece came together nicely and as always with some happy little artistic serendipities along the way

Acrylic on Paper

A new piece. Charcoaled out the lines then painted them in black. Fed color in slowly working a fairly limited palette.
