Doria Walsh is a self-taught artist living in Harrisburg,
PA. Formerly a realistic pastel painter, Doria found
making abstracts with fluid mediums made her feel peaceful
and present. She experiments with chemistry and its effects
on her inks and paints as if in a laboratory. Because fluid
mediums can be chaotic and unpredictable , there is no way
to anticipate what will occur. It becomes a deeply internal
process because the artist must surrender to physics – to an
extent. The piece presented here is India ink on 9”x12”
paper and is called “Rorschach.”
