Graphing an Uncertain Future

As Covid-19 made travel impossible, I sought refuge at a cottage on the Russian River in western Sonoma County, where everything was shuttered, and time seemed to stand still. My satellite studio became my sanctuary, a unique kind of artist residency amidst the uncertainties of Covid-19 and the bizarre weather patterns wrought by increasingly intense climate change. Going to my satellite studio each day was a way of calming my anxieties as I lost myself in the joys of mark-making. Drawing is the foundation of all art, as it hinges on perception. While I employ computer technology in my work, I also yearn for the directness of drawing and painting, nurturing my affinity for materials and the tactile experience of printmaking.
