the series i am working on right now is basically about life. its about the conflict between all of our plans and ambitions and grabs for control, and all of the unexpected stuff that life throws in the way of it. i carefully draw out patterns, put things into grids, create geometric designs, and then take a bunch of thinned down paint and let it do its thing over top of it, or scribble random shapes on top of it all. the idea is that in the end there is a harmony created. between the planning, rigor, and deliberate construction, and the drips, dissolves, and happy accidents, comes a gestalt that is analogous to all the events of a persons life contributing to who the person is.
that's the idea anyway.
feedback is much appreciated.

Hi Rachel!

Thank you for your comments on my jewelry.  I think what you do is amazing and after visiting your gallery, Winning the Battle is one of my favorites.  You have a great title.

Nice work Rachel. When I saw your bone series I thought of Georgia O'Keefe. More for the subject matter than the pallet. And then I saw your egg painting and it did remind me of her pallet. Your work is very sensual with a subtle energy. I love it.


I'm trying to find a context in which to use the word irregardless, but it's very difficult to do, irregardless of what one would think...    Sorry, I couldn't resist...   -Don

Hi Rachel, your new editions are excellent! Ilike the "Egg" and I was wondering if you will be adding to the "Bone" series? Gerry
