On occasion I participate in EBSQ’s monthly online art shows (of which I’m a juried member). The theme for the February 2009 show was: “One Word Concept: Hidden”. The idea “hidden in plain view” came to mind. I love playing around with words. I outlined the “hidden” word and then randomly doodled large wavy lines around and through it.

Week 10: Crystalite
I created this design as part of a ‘Call To Artist’ event for the 2004 da Vinci Days poster contest. The design started as an abstract image of a tree (or as others have described it: the Star Trek communicator pin the crew wear). I wanted to repeat that pattern 12 times, putting one behind the other and 30 degrees to the left. Similar to when you take a stack of napkins and twist down on them to fan them around.
Week 9: Dreamcatcher
I’ve always been fascinated by dreamcatchers…it may have something to do with the fact that they contain a circle. A friend gave me a red-tailed hawk feather. I used it as my model for this dreamcatcher-like mandala.
Week 8: Inner Tubes
The Inner Tubes mandala is one of a series of 21 asymmetry mandalas created over a 3 week period in autumn 2007. It consists of only 3 lines overlapping each other, with a spiral in the middle. My asymmetry mandalas come about by drawing in-the-moment inspired doodles.
