Cornish College of the Arts - Indigo Painting Project
I have been working with Idalis Madrigal and Ryan Woolworth for a long while now and they recently completed a painting project outside of the Visual Arts offices....perfect way for them to leave their mark during their final semester at Cornish. They are graduating with their BFA degrees in May 2019. I have had the best time ever working with them and so looking forward to assisting with their BFA installation coming up soon!

Why Indigo Blue?
Well......my love of Indigo started in art school in 1989 when I was studying Fiber and Textiles at SIU-C. Our amazing textile dye studio had an Indigo dye vat literally going all the time. Then later in 1994 as a graduate student I studied natural dyes and Indigo in Japan....one of the premiere places to learn about it.... So one of my final gifts to them (Idalis and Ryan) was to get acquainted with this amazing color even if they didn't know it at the time.....Indigo dye has an incredibly rich history and will always influence my research and my future artworks.

New Work: Encaustic
Finished this work for the Cornish Staff Exhibition last month.......by far the largest of my encaustic paintings to date.....Changing scale in encaustic dramatically increases weight but I am super stoked about this new direction. This work is highly layered so I am including extra detail photos to get the full tactile surface quality.
