micro drawing-This is one in a series of drawings I have
been doing for the past 6 years.

How do we protect ourselves from the hostile
elements in this world and remain open to growth and creativity? This draiwng
is inspired by my meditation on the opening of my creative life and the freedom
it allows my soul. As an educator I had just finished a year of teaching in a
Title I elementary school serving 540 kids k-5 every week.  Aside from the mass
of students, it was my job to inspire each one of them.  The level of aggression the students maintained
was just bearable. My release from the dilemma of their care and the prospect
of a time devoted to making art informed this meditation.

micro drawing- 

I expect my work to be more than a wall flower. Even though it literaly is hung on a wall like a flower on display. Art is meant to be a portal or catalyst for new perceptions, experiences and dialogues, as are people. It is a challenge to educate others to percieve beyond the superficially visual and yet without the effort wall flowers is all they will see.

micro drawing- The question of beauty for women is complex generally
relating to one’s physical characteristics. As a woman and an artist I have
always looked at character and the building of experience as markers of
beauty.  In this drawing I meditated on
the evolution of my experiences like the layers of a shell woven around a
mollusk. The final visual effect of this type of growth is mapped in this
drawing.
