CHESCO, 55

I am a tapestry weaver working with traditional techniques but incorporating patterns and textures suggested by the yarns themselves to create a unique, "painterly" effect. I also work in pastel, often using that medium to inspire my weaving. Sea, sky and landscape are favorite subjects. Sometimes I combine other materials such as metals and hand-made papers, to form mixed-media collages. During the Covid pandemic I have been working on a small scale using new techniques in oil pastel which I hope will inspire many tapestries in the future!

I am an abstract artist I work with A combination of acrylics ,graphite ,inks and watercolor. I incorporate Multiple layers of paint , textures and glazing in my process. I work on both Canvas and paper. I have been working on a new series with geometric shapes and bold layered colors, That I’m Excited about.
My paintings and artwork have always come to me in the form of dreams and visions.
I have been painting for 46 years. My studio has just relocated to Berks county Pennsylvania.

We're a married couple creating collaborative works in digital and traditional media--including conceptual paintings, illustration, video, hand crafts, and 3D printing--from our home studio in Coatesville.

My photography is an expression of my love of the outdoors. I take pictures to connect with the natural world and examine how human activities, which impact every inch of the planet, shape it. I try to capture the interplay between nature and our efforts to tame, enhance, and coexist with it. My images are rooted in an exploration of the feelings and wonder that the textures, lines, colors, shapes, forms, tones, and spaces found in nature evoke.

I sometimes use resin to finish my photographs giving them a depth which emphasizes the colors, shadows, and light.

My work is a combination of printmaking, photography, and painting. I use these media to create implied narrative landscapes. I take photographic elements and print-collage them together, attempting to authentically tell the stories and histories of abandoned architecture. As nature actively reclaims them, these structures stand resiliently as testaments to their history and serve as reminders of the legacies of the people who've left them behind. My work reflects on the ways that man-made architecture is eclipsed by nature, and often nature plays a direct part in the creation of a work of art. I often harvest plants (weeds) from my garden and use them in my work. I'm perpetually enamored by their biodiversity. I work in layers: first, a background painting of a sky-scape I've witnessed, followed by layers of photo screen prints that are developed from my photographic imagery. When I photograph a building, I see it as a design element, a character in the narrative, and the silkscreen is a way of making a mark, much like a paintbrush. In this way, I piece together multiple images in such a way that they unveil the story of a place.
