Meet the Artists – 2015 RMWB Artist in Residency
Artist, welder and welder inspector and daughter of a carpenter and poet, I am known for experimenting with one of the most beautiful materials on earth: Metal. Some of my art is currently expressed in conjunction with our community youth. “The Recycled P-Arts: A Community and Industry Art Project” was with high school welding students, teaching welding techniques, offering advice on how to use metals with composition and design collaboration.
The interest lies in using traditional principles/techniques with an unbiased group. Another current work “A Thousand Words Project” uses film photography with the now digitalized youth. Developing and enlarging in my darkroom, I put a hands on approach through the lenses of our community children/youth.
Working with our youth opens our eyes to where our art and culture is leading in our community. Currently we have many youth using graffiti to express themselves. Using words in a traditional art sense is a challenging to achieve. I believe through palindromes, ambigrams and concrete poetry, our youth can see other ways to express their arts and see there are many avenues to approaching how to express themselves.
