am a pen and ink artist. I work the old fashioned way with an ink well and a crowquill pen. Dip and scratch. okay...not an actual crow's quill , not quite that old fashioned but I do use the metal tip kind that works by surface tension . The wonderful way different plants and creatures grow together is what drew me to this subject of study. Nature determinedly leaves no place empty or untouched ; weeds , flowers , insects and creatures living their lives entwined. It's that tangle of life I like to ink. I try to bring to wild scenes, a gentle acknowledgment, to honor the common creatures. Conversely, I try to bring to the domestic scenes, the reality not always sought; like the weeds and bugs in a cultured garden or flowers under the glow of the moon. My endeavor is to explore and find the small things lost in this busy world, bringing small creatures and bits of nature forward so we may know them intimately, again. I have exhibited my artwork in museums and galleries but I also attend outdoor art festivals along the East Coast .
