Description:

Late one evening in 1992, I was printing in my studio. Dissatisfied and frustrated with the results, I tore the prints into pieces. As I began to discard them, several juxtaposed scraps unexpectedly caught my attention. They suggested natural forms and initiated a passage from nature to abstraction. These shapes suddenly began to resemble the varied hardwoods of my native Flemington, Florida, the hibiscus and palm trees, and many hues found on various bushes and trees in St. Petersburg and Tallahassee. I was challenged to create something significantly different than I had done before. The results were silkscreen constructions, dynamic compositions created by silk screening large sheets of color and inventing images as I cut an assemble the piece. Rain is one of a series of many of these silk screen constructions an abstraction of the beauty of rain and the lush green landscapes I have experienced.
