Abstract

The New-er Artist's Society (After Bellows): My second foray into waterless lithography, this is a study of George Bellows' 1923 'New Society Dinner Card', a stone lithograph printed for the meeting of an artists' group that he belonged to. I was instantly taken with the subject matter and had a great time trying new techniques.

Gazing Inward / Gazing Outward: Gazing Inward / Gazing Outward' is a diptych that speaks to the creative process- looking towards yourself or looking out into the world and to others for inspiration and strength.
