My Twirly World

A number of years ago - a terrible family tragedy occurred.  It forced me to think about things I never had.  As I sat in hospital waiting rooms and doctor's offices, my therapy became drawing "twirly" images on wood with colored pencils.  These patterns were a dramatic turn from my previous work and lots of folks didn't understand them.  Actually, I didn't understand them. They were just patterns that I drew and colored.  But they somehow helped me feel better.

These twirlys have gone through numerous editions and have lately turned into landscapes.  Once again - they take me to my happy place!
