Gallery Presentations
Augusta Savage Gallery
"The Spirit of the Place," Connemara Summer 2001
Acrylic ink on wood exhibited in CANDID: Self Taught Artists of the Pioneer Vlley. February, 2002.
Artists in every culture and throughout history have sought inspiration from nature, and by their own experience in their art, they have evoked for others the human need to rediscover and be rejuvenated by its kindredness and its plenitude. Working with acrylic ink on wood and toned paper, I have attempted to capture the spirit of nature of Ballinakill Bay in Connemara Ireland. Absorbtion in this process was restorative and essential.
