Spin a yarn with words and you are a story teller. Spin straw into gold and you are either in a fairy tale, or you are an artist.
As a children's book author and illustrator I weave words and images together to tell a tale. The art that I make for a book unfolds a visual narrative.
My goal is to illuminate the text but also to reveal subtleties in the story which may not even have been mentioned. My inspiration comes from dreams and from that calm land of elixir between waking and dreaming. Music, hope, and longing also seem to stitch themselves into each piece of art that I make.
This Friday evening~September 3~ from 5:00 to 7:00 during "ART WALK", I am exhibiting some of my artwork at the Bainbridge Island Public Library. I will give a short presentation at 6:00. Included in the show will be a range of work in various medium: oil, egg tempera, sumi ink and acrylic on elephant dung paper. Pâté de foie gras on Russian parachutes.Truth in lending here, one of the above may not be true. But the rest are.
The exhibit will be up for the month of September. Love to see you there Friday!
