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.

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. 3 (2022)

Another Matisse inspired construction paper cutout piece. So rewarding to make these colorful shapes and lines with scissors and paper. First true wave of new inspiration in a long, long time for 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
