Wonderful news this week! I have been invited to be a featured artist at Illahe Gallery www.illahegallery.com this February.
I will be creating 2 – 3 pieces similar in process to “Antelope Canyon,” below. I begin with a photo or photos of a place in nature; I create an initial design of about 18″ x 24″ and a final design of about 3′ x 5′ with much greater detail.
I love this process. I feel myself on the inside of the inside as I commune with the heart of nature that the image yearns to bring forth. I experience a deep communion with the place and qualities of the earth I am rendering. It nourishes my soul, and I emerge from hours in my studio with a happy heart and a light spirit.
I am in the process of choosing my images for the show. I will perhaps choose a further image from the Slot Canyons…very different from “Antelope.” I have also long desired to create a tide pool image. And I have wonderful images of snow creatures, trees and snow, that I would love to create in fiber.
I’ll keep you posted!
- “Antelope Canyon” 3′ x 5′ Slot Canyons of the America SW, where floods have worn deep, narrow canyons. Sunlight overhead casts deep shadows onto the sandstone walls, creating dramatic colors and contrast.
