                                 "FREQUENCY" colored pencil /12" x 14"/ 2008

      The birth of my fascination with colored pencils emerged in 1973.

       Interacting with an unfolding spontaneous response to the evolving drawing,  provides  a powerful entrance point into dialog with my essential Soul Self.   I have  been most attracted to  abstractly describing the elemental energies of earth, air, fire, and water.  These ongoing pencil explorations describe energies present throughout the evolutionary processes of birth, growth, change, disintegration, death and regeneration. 

To initiate my drawing, I shift my focus by closing my eyes, breathing in and out slowly and deeply, clearing an open place in my mind.  From this quieted space, I begin randomly drawing lines upon the page, ocassionally, erasing, smudging, tracing, transfering textures or patterns. I like to stand up at the drawing table  during this stage, giving myself maximum range for  gestural movement. I withhold judgments, responding freely and intuitively to the unfolding emergience of sometiimes intensely mysterious patterns.  An inner landscape and dialog gradually evolve to disclose graphic images of overlapping thoughts, until then ,hidden meanings, often times followed by surprising insights into my deeper truer self.  It is when I am in the process of creating , that I feel  I am  vibrantly participating in a celebration of what it means to be ALIVE.
