On Linen

Many of the pieces in this gallery are recreations of family history, using old family photographs to make up stories of the lives of my ancestors.

The cicada pieces are a combination of my love of line drawing and interest in things that fly.

All of the works in this gallery are hand drawn on linen using thickened procion dyes and or bleach with addition surface design and stitching.
