My interest in the use of inks and waxes stems from early experiments to create differing textures for cold press print. I have worked with acrylics, appreciating the immediacy of a finished pieces, but in recent years I have returned to the medium of ink with the occasional deviation into mixed media.
Mostly I appreciate responding to texture, not least the textures that reflect the vast array of woods – bark especially fascinates me as they are most often landscapes in miniature. My work today is seeking different textures and effects using inks on different types of wax and oil, sometimes building layer upon layer – just to see what happens.
In art there are no boundaries. Every artist has an opportunity to speak to the world saying, “this is me, this is form my soul, take it or leave it.” You read your message – I have none in particular to offer, other than, look around you and witness the stunning wonders of creation, even the nasty bits where humankind has mucked things up.
