One of my new cold wax abstracts, Fractals No. 2, will be featured in the in-person and online exhibit Multifarious at the D’Art Center’s Main Gallery in Norfolk. The exhibit opens on August 6th and will be up until September 3rd. You’re invited to join us for a reception on Friday, August 12th from 5:30 - 7:30 pm. If you would like to join virtually, there will be a Facebook live of the event. Find out more on the D’Art Center’s website.

My artwork flows from what moves me and from where I find beauty: women, animals, the earth, color, pattern, and light. My art represents the deep connection I feel with these elements. Fractal No. 2 is one from a new body of work that is cold wax and oil on wood panels. The properties of cold wax fascinate me and keep me curious; how the underlying layers inform and alter the layers applied over them, how incising and scraping and glazing make more changes. I know I am wielding the palette knife and mixing the colors, but what happens on the panel is beyond my control. I’m learning how to be fine with the state of ‘not knowing’.
