8" x 8" oil on paper, 2011
These 8" x 8" oil paintings on paper are a direct response and exploration of a question I often get asked;  "Do you think your many years of making jewelry have influence on your paintings?"  I consider the influence to flow in both directions.  It is a very conscious choice that the small size of my paintings are in response to many years of working, table top, with jewelry. The "lobe-like" cartoony forms have always been a part of my vocabulary.
