This mini-series is about the process of letting go of perceptions of the world that inhibit us. Perception is so subjective as is our experience of reality.

Sketch for a painting that will be titled “Rattle.” She is a crumbling geode- possibly malachite and azurite or maybe pyrite…. or maybe just boring ol’ amethyst. I am fascinated by gems and minerals and have a pretty sizable collection.
These teaser shots are of a newly completed ink and gouache painting, “Flinch,” is about the practice of trepanning where holes are drilled into a living person’s skull to relieve pressure beneath the surface. Some people report a feeling of euphoria and it has even been used as a way to get high. This painting is part of a series called “Laid Bare” which explores vulnerability as a source of strength and empowerment.
