2006

my artwork

Most of my artwork from 2006 came in the form of
Touch Drawing. For years I have struggled with just
letting go, just playing, which is surprising since I
remember with great joy the free-play I engaged in as a
child. Touch Drawing has helped me to see that I am
still that child. For more information please check out
the Touch Drawing website at http://touchdrawing.com.

This was a fun piece. I did
several pieces that I believe
had to do with my sister,
brother, and myself. I don't,
though, know exactly what it
means except that we are
conjuring up some fun. The
approximate size is 9.5"x8.5".
price: $150

Angel is a beautiful drawing that is full
of energy. This piece is about X"xX".
price: $150

These two pieces were done one right after the other. The one on the right is the
negative of the one on the left. I decided to tint with inks the negative because of the
powerful lines of the positive image. This is one of the glories of Touch Drawing. The
negative, or even the residue, of the original drawing can be reused in some other way.
Or, perhaps more importantly, as I look at the drawn-in ink on the board, I realize the
unfinishedness of the piece. Each piece measures approximately 17.5x11.5".
price: $150 each or $250 for the set

A glory of Touch
Drawing is that I can
have a concept or an
idea as I start the piece,
or I can just let the
universe take over.
And sometimes, it is a
combination of the
two. In this piece, I
was reflecting on the
death of the helicopter
pilot that halted the
massacre at Mai Lai in
Vietnam. What a
strong character he
must have been. As a
war veteran, I don't
need to be told
through a soldier's
medals what his
character truly is.
This piece, Hero, is
about 17"x11".
price: $150

The Good Dream is one of my favorite pieces
form last year. I love the use of imagination,
but the faithfulness to my individuality. This
image is wonderful in its color, subject matter,
and composition. This was one of the first
drawings that was created from free play that I
really liked. This piece is about 17"x11".
price: $150

Self Portrait from the Womb is a wonderful drawing that is straight off of the
board. Here, I was using multiple boards. I started with the blue drawing,
and I moved to other boards for the colors. This piece is about 17"x11".
price: $150

The Burning Feathers came to me during a session where
I intended on drawing the higher spirits in some
fashion. It is clear that this is a copy of the burning
bush story, but I still love the drawing. It is a powerful
and simple piece. This piece is about 17"x11".
price: $150

I recall that Free
Falling came from a
drawing session where
my meditation was on
body movement. I
tried to draw
experiences of my
etheric body, and not
just my physical body.
I love the color and
movement of this
piece. This piece is
about 17"x11".
price: $150

Big Hands was from a series of drawings where I attempted to
live with my body parts as if they were changed in some way.
This is a powerful drawing, and I really like the way that the
residue from a previous drawing lives in the background. The
Buddha ear behind the crying me energizes the piece in a way
that I could not have planned. This piece is about 17"x11".
price: $150

I do not recall what was the genesis of
this piece, or what it means. I do like
the simplicity. The gentle lines and
the soft ink wash really compliment
one another. I would love to know
what she is offering him, or, what he
is demanding of her. Being an
optimist, I call this Her Offering. This
piece is about 15.5"x10.5".
price: $150
