Batiks

Wild Florida Series

I have always loved roaming around in the woods, natures tangle of beauty is breathtaking to me. Wild flowers along the side of a road, a dead tree along my path, or the quite beauty of an untouched patch of land all hold potential images to translate and express in batiks. Capturing light and shadow is often exaggerated by the crude tools used to lay down hot wax, and are part of the charm in batik images.

Still Lifes

These still lifes were born from the idea of combining a batik cloth with the fruit I had picked from our garden. The fun I had arranging these together, spurred me on to create more. I particuarly enjoy working with such bright colors, a bit of a departure from my usual earth tones.

Botanical Series

Cultivated landscapes and flowers though beautiful, are not regular subjects for me, their obvious beauty speaks for itself. Occasionally something unexpected catches my attention and makes it's way into a batik, and there is a good chance an insect is involved. Watching insects at work has been a life long interest of mine. One of my earliest memories is squatting by an ant hill with my father, mesmerized.

People and faces challenge me to the edge of my technical abilities, and yet I love working on them.
