Beets Series

The Beets series of monotypes came after a visit to a Chihuly exhibit. Dale Chihuly, the famous glass artist, also paints energetic art filled with color and action. These paintings were inspired by his work although my work is more representational. The "Yellow Beets" diptych was created by laying two plates next to each other and painting them as one plate. Each was then printed individually and mounted later together as one piece. The other prints are titled "Red Beets" and "Blue Beets" respectively. I also designed and sewed a small wall hanging using the design in the "Yellow Beets" diptych.

Bird's Nest #1

"Bird's Nest #1" was the first of a series of monotypes generated after a visit to the glass exhibit of Dale Chihuly. It was his paintings that are so full of color and swirls and texture that inspired me to make this image.

Bird's Nest #2

"Bird's Nest #2" is another watercolor monotype using the swirls and energy of enthusiastic painting!

"Bird's Nest #3

"Bird's Nest #3" is the final in this series of monotypes inspired by the art of Dale Chihuly. It could be a bird's nest or it could be objects in space!
