“I learned the trick of coating magazine pages with Citra Solv and letting them soak. The textures resulting from the dissolved ink were intriguing. Collaging images from my own paintings, I was able to achieve these surreal works.”

During my 40 some years of being an artist and teacher, Tribes of Truth Tellers have manifested themselves in many ways.
I taught Sculpture for many years in public schools and tall, cylindrical sculptural forms showed up in paper maché and clay forms. It was so fascinating to see the variety of expressions that resulted when a challenge was put forth to 30 students and they found 30 ways to express it. I worked along with them in order to teach technique. As always happens, we all inspired each other to make our sculptures unique.
The Tribe has also shown up in layered textural acrylic paintings and in collaged, cut, and layered painted paper forms. These two new ones are acrylics painted on paper with a forest in mind. However, the Tribe inserted itself into my consciousness, so I cut them free from each other and re-assembled them on painted wooden panels. I also cut a tree from another painting to add to the mystery.
The Truth Teller Tribe unexpectedly returns to my art! Click the image on the right to see the entire painting.
There they were in all their glory, telling me Truths I hadn’t known before. As it turns out, the story they tell each viewer is specifically tailored to each individual.
