Projects: I have crowdfunded and produced two art books-- Finding My Familiar (wildlife drawings on toned paper) and Earth and Water (sumi-e and other ink art), and I' m currently working on a third called I Dream of Space. Described by Toni Weisskopf as " romantic spaceships," my sci-fi paintings are fantastical and expressionistic, as if I were an ancient astronomer seeing the scenes in dreams. I create them by building up textures and illuminating the happy accidents I find within. I like to push the boundaries between narrative decision and randomness-- it' s how I make sense of art, and of life! (As to whether there is also a secret fantasy art book in the works, I have no comment except life is short and I' ve got a lot of art in me to put out into the world!)
Location: Nashville, TNThis is from a story idea I had, whereby this universe of floating islands is connected and patrolled by the Edgewalkers-- a person and their beast for each sector of guardianship. They signal to each other with their staves. She is signalling green to show that all is well. Answering green lights are visible from the Edgewalkers on neighboring islands.
