Crystalline rivers rising from the vast southeastern aquifer were my home, teachers and places to be a part of nature. Water partnered with Sunlight on its surfaces and within as Light, Color, and Patterns. Immersion into its depth as layers reveal colour upon colour and pattern upon pattern with a seamless appearance. That most of all became my personal visual language character and the innovative work for water-based Serigraphy. From childhood art with Abstract Representation and a long time working in Realism there comes a blend with open border designs and mathematical measure in formulas of inks so the layers and seamlessness in view create hand-rendered prints. From places and experiences in nature and the material and handed-down understandings in early First Peoples Cultures come images and collaborations for closely held story and contemporary interpretation based on original information. Always important are the emphasis on individual artisan visual language character and innovation in studio processes for non-toxicity and water-based material properties.

The artisan website focuses on the Portfolio Collection with digital artist books [flipbooks] sharing context, essay, and art. The flipbooks for each area begin on the mini-book cover boxes, and offer their lower bar for page turning, full screen, and as much time as one might want on any of the pages. The About page hosts information as article-docs without the large files size of images. If the use of flipbooks is new, I hope each will enjoy this new way of sharing art online.
