ART OVERVIEW
Art biography
While my mother started sculpting stone in her late 70s after a life dedicated to business, I began to grapple with digital art and sculpture in my mid-60s after a life of writing and teaching poetry. I just published my 11th collection of poems and shown my art work in N. Carolina, Vermont, and online in Numero Cinq Magazine.
I cannonball into color and shape—saturated, complicated or scraped to the bone. My work incorporates improv, metamorphosis, history, humor—gallows, satiric, scatological—and in and out of a restless imagination: some of my titles--“Torn Woman Weaving a Basket Around Herself,” “Ku Klux Night on the Town,” “Audubon Variations 1-34,” “Double Narcissus,” “Soubrette with Ostrich Plume,” “4 Days of Walking out of and into a Body,” “Tea Party in Hell,” “Fish Trump,” “Nude with Swordfish,” and “Medium Walking the Sea of Serenity”--speak to its range.
