You can take the girl out of the Chicago but you can’t take the Chicago spirit out of the girl! That pretty much describes what motivates my edgier style of artwork.
(above) Child’s Play was a problematic/naughty creation that had taken me three years to create. It began as a collagraph print that went rogue on me, so I tucked it away in a drawer for a few years. As time went by, I had grown and evolved as an artist. So when I found the collagraph print, I knew exactly what to do with it, to make it into an interesting composition.
(below) My series of surrealistic charcoal drawings title Bombus (Latin word meaning BOOM) expresses the feeling/action that I wanted to portray in the drawing Bombus!

Once the pulp had dried I applied a variety of permanent metallic paints and mounted the sculpture onto a wood background that’s covered with fabric.

Below are some images of collages and prints and drawings inspired by two Kodiak bear cubs that reside at the Wildwood Zoo in Marshfield, Wisconsin. The series of artwork is titled “WALKABOUT”.
(above) original collagraph print is used as a background with added watercolor and a variety of original printed and painted papers have been adhered to create a forest seen in this collage.
(above) Mixed media/ collage/ assemblage The background and bear formations are original collagraph prints, the foreground is created from handmade sculpted paper, to create the feel of a wooded rocky terrain.
(above) This original collagraph print was created using multiple collagraph plates, each inked and pulled through the press separately and watercolor was added to increase the intensity of the colors.
(above) Title: “Munsey” Charcoal drawing of a Kodiak bear cub. This drawing was created with powdered charcoal. The powdered charcoal was added and subtracted with a feather. The feather was especially useful when creating the longer tufts of fur on the bear.

I love to play with a variety of materials when I’m creating artwork! If my original prints don’t live up to my expectations, I alter them into a totally new composition.
Sometimes an original prints will sit in a drawer for a couple of years before I figure out what direction to follow. Every January through March I pull out all my misfit children and turn them into totally new compositions, usually collages / mixed media.
I believe that the artwork is waiting for me to develop my skills and that’s when the magic happens! It helps having an open mind and the courage to destroy one piece of artwork to make exciting discoveries and push my boundaries!
