Pandora’s Trojan Horse Asks “What Global Warming?”
Hand Pulled Serigraph
While there is an element of whimsy and humor throughout my art, my inspiration often comes from an irritation, a little grain of sand that I ruminate over. Like an oyster I try to turn this irritant into a pearl, or in my case an artwork. I often deal with weighty topics such as climate change, social injustice or politics. At other times I enjoy letting my sense of humor take over. I also deal with things I see or feel in my everyday life. A story from the news, exploring art from the past, a historic event, or an amusing anecdote. Any of these sources can move me esthetically and germinate into an idea. I call my style ‘Reality with a Twist’, because it is very realistic, but unlike anything you would ever see.
