Memory, narrative, and sense of place were drawn upon and discovered through the process using a wide variety of painting, mixed media and collage approaches. -

I use a wide range of sketchbooks and journals, make my own using lots of different methods, and alter published books. -

During the month of June, artists in our Re-Imagine programs worked with the subject of Reflections in their sketchbooks and related studio projects. We studied the visual impact of nature mirrored in bodies of water and the distinctly inverted, remarkably abstract views found there.
