Off Key

Keeping "in tune" with the traditions of art is an education. Exploring the interpretation of them is a career. Moving through the winter of 2012, I'm diligently exploring many compositions of form, wonder and distortion. My thesis work orchestrates a combination of humor, design and emotional play through various notes: some somber, others joyful.

My teaching helps inspire my own art, as I commit to both reaching others with the wonder and potential of art and exercising my own. Off Key is a recent work and a specialty watercolor. It highlights my memories of being a young student faced with fear and combines it with my present role as educator- the adult helping to remove some those anxieties. To me, it seems to be the duet that takes place when creative instruments come together in concert-human and otherwise.

Coming soon, I will be highlighting my work with line and the emotional form. On that note, I encourage you to visit my present galleries and have a look (and listen).
