One week after Hurricane Sandy invaded New York I took my Dalvero class down to the World Trade Center. We arrived just in time to witness a very personal small ceremony of relatives of some victims of the 9/11 attacks. People were tying yellow ribbons around the lower branches of the Callery Pear Tree that […]

I sat in on one of Veronica Lawlor’s classes at Pratt Art Institute and made a couple of drawings of this great model. I used a Japanese black ink brush, which was a Pentel pocket brush pen, and my old fav stand by, Pilot Varsity fountain pen. I love the results of the combination […]

View post →This is a series of watercolor and gold pen pattern designs that I created. I had been looking at a lot of Japanese fabrics and prints and they inspired me to paint, draw and design these “patterns of nature.” They were just an inspirational experiment in abstraction, pattern and design and I ended up really […]

Different types of bodies, sea creatures, land animals and checkered landscapes came to mind. Margaret […]
