In the Studio: Hush Redux
I’ll probably be posting a lot of “In the Studio” pieces in the near future; as I am frantically trying to get work finished for a few upcoming shows (More on those soon!)
So here’s another peek at what I’ve got going on!
After my wonderful Fellowship at the Brodsky Center; I was left with more than a head-full of exciting ideas, new friends and wet clothes. I also received 10 of the 30 editioned pieces of Hush my glorious collaboration with papermakers Lisa Switalski and Anne McKeown.

I was also given all the proofs that didn’t quite make the grade. Of course, as a collage artist I’m not going to get rid of any of those delicious bits! So I thought I’d share with you the beginning of this new painting I’m doing, using the scraps from Hush as a base. I’m not sure where I’ll be taking it from here, but I’ll keep you updated as it progresses!
Also, I’ve included a shot of the very start of the piece I’m doing with the shadows that I mentioned in the previous post.
Layers to go before I sleep, layers to go before I sleep!

I am so amazed by your work but I keep saying to myself, “I don’t get it! I don’t get it!” LOL! I don’t want any secrets but I’m wondering, how in the world do you create these pieces?
I saw you mention “layers”. So I’m guessing that most of your pieces are done in many different stages by adding one layer at a time?
Excuse my need to understand everything.
