These most recent drawings are my contribution to an exhibition entitled; Navel Gazing, Artists Visions of Florida. I was selected as one of sixteen artists from the United States to create "new" work about Florida. The work will be featured at the Brevard Art Museum in Melbourne, FL on January 30, 2010.
I created the following suite of five mixed-media drawings in response to a 375 mile unconventional round-trip expedition between Sarasota, Fl on the Gulf Coast of Florida and Melbourne, FL on the Atlantic coast of Florida on the last day of November 2009. With this newest suite of drawings, I attempted to represent the journey, the space and the landscape between the two coasts of Florida.
They are the residue of that experience and reflect an atypical journey through the heart of undisturbed Florida.
