L'ATELIER de PAPIER
"Homage a Proust" pen and ink drawing
"Le pecheur" (Ete)
15 1/2" by 30" ( 40.6 cm by 76.20 cm)
.This drawing was inspired by the chinoiserie fantasy scenes created by the 18th Century French artist Jean-Baptiste Pillement, whose work was popularized by engravers including his wife, Anne Allen. This scene is available as a print in an edition limited to 12 as well as fired to ceramic tiles for use as a decorative panel.
PRINTS
"CONSERVATORY"
Print Edition limited to 12
In this large work, I wished to explore the relationships of geometric definitions of space, artisanal objects, and the organic forms, shapes, and textures of the flowers and foliage.

ROCOCO SWEETPEAS
Pen and ink on illustration board 15" by 20"
Much of my inspiration comes directly from the garden. When one truly observes natural structure, it is impossible not to admire the beauty being held. Sweet peas' flowers bear much resemblance to the exotic orchid and the flat stems and wild tendrils provide great contrast. These wondrous sights will never present themselves until a few sprigs are gathered and observed. Their exuberance completely matches the efforts of the makers of rococo frames and Belleek potters.
