Inverness , Encaustic and mixed media on panel , 12 x 16 inches , 2007
I tend to work in series until the impetus is over . I enjoy the back and forwards between pieces and the way they will “ speak ” to each other . I try to build a rhythm and progression of mood or movement throughout , to suggest what I am trying to say .
I work in a solitary fashion in the studio , needing quiet time and reflection . My drawings made out in the landscape are based on a very focused practice , as I use ink and minimal marks .
However , I love a good workshop and the joy of sharing experience , as when working with Ellen Koment of Santa Fe , during summer 2014 while taking her large scale encaustic workshop .
