Recent Work

The work I've been posting recently is small, approximately 6" square, and is based on the techniques I learned last June in a workshop by Rebecca Wild that I wrote about. I've been playing around with the composition and layout since I think my original pieces lacked a clear focal point.

Inspiration for the newer pieces have come from some of my Zentangle-type doodles and from looking more closely at Paul Klee's work. I've also been working on building some drawing skills so I can create interesting focal points.

These pieces are made on paper, which is embossed with a stylus tool. The embossed areas are colored first with chalk pastels and then highlights are added with colored pencils. I have enjoyed this process and have ideas for several more pieces.
