I am the featured artist this month at My Color Image Gallery in Chattanooga, TN. Here’s a preview of the featured works and a thanks to Kate O’Brien Clarke, the model for a majority of the Dysphagia Series.
"My work explores the connection between the artist and the model, the energy exchanged between the two. It's about emotional response, tactile, visceral, abstract, created with a limited color palette, leaving the brush strokes and drips raw and unrefined. It's as much a conversation as a picture, a snapshot of emotion, a thread running between the observer and the observed. Connective Tissue."

I am a student at Chatt State and I saw “Caterwall” . I am trying to get some info on it for a paper I am writing. Could you tell me about it? I think it is beautiful but I can’t figure it out. So any info would be very appreciated!Thanks, Melanie
Hi Melanie,
Thanks for your note. Where is “Caterwall” being displayed? I’d like to see it myself.
Basically, it’s acrylic on wood, painted in multiple layers. The base is a monoprint. The layers are masked, paint applied and removed, creating the rhythm and chaos that you see in the final painting.
