The Pollinators' Dance
Drypoint intaglio print
10 X 8 X 1 inch
This piece explores the delicate interplay between nature's industrious creatures and abstract textures. The bees, created through drypoint intaglio printmaking on plexiglass and printed on rice paper, bring intricate detail to the organic composition. The background is alive with green and yellow Akua inks, textured by subtle drops of alcohol for a dynamic effect while mark-making and golden green acrylic paint weave layers of depth and movement. The work invites viewers to reflect on the vital role of bees within a lush, textured environment.

Artisan Narrative III
Mixed Media
12 X 12 X 1 inch
During an artist workshop in California’s Central Valley, this piece emerged as an exploration of time's transformative power. The surface tells a story of erosion and renewal through peeling layers and earthy tones of gold and rust. Bees, etched into the layers, offer a symbolic nod to patience and effort, their hive-building echoing the artistic process. Subtle traces of earlier layers and marks remain visible, revealing the evolving journey of the work, much like time leaves its mark on all things.

Artisan Narrative II
Mixed Media
12 X 12 X 1 inch
Created during an artist workshop in California’s Central Valley, these three 12x12 mixed media pieces explore the passage of time through layered textures and suggestive imagery. The peeling layers and dark golden hues symbolize the slow erosion and wear that time leaves behind. Beneath the surface, intaglio prints of bees emerge, subtly representing the time and dedication required to build their hives. The use of rust applied to paper, paired with golden yellow acrylic paint, captures the worn beauty of weathered surfaces, evoking a sense of age and transformation. Pentimento plays a key role, as traces of the artistic process remain visible, enriching the narrative of time embedded in each piece.
