I enjoyed my studio time in 2023 more than ever in the past. A gift of tail feathers has provided endless fodder for compositions, many of which will be debuting at our exhibition, “Parallel Journeys,” at Cutter & Cutter Fine Art on January 26th.
This is a little video of the painting I finished on New Year’s Eve, so my last of 2024. It was a puzzle for me to fit in the weave of the antique silk damask from Rabat, as well as the embroidery on top of the silk. Not to mention the iridescent feathers and glass. Weirdly, the way I found to represent the super-refined textures was through rough, direct brushwork, sometimes with canvas peeking through. I have not worked this way in decades. I’d love to hear what you think!!! Click here to email me your reaction, and your 2024 plans : )
New book, “Parallel Journeys,” will debut in person at the exhibition of the same name, but is also available to order HERE.
