During the uncertainty of the Covid Quarantine I found it very difficult to immerse myself in my painting process. I couldn’t focus and became restless. So I went outside and drew little views around my yard. I carved these sketches into linoleum blocks and printed them on different colored papers. The carving provided focus and the printing itself spontaneous surprises which was a good balance for me at the time. As the seasons changed I added details to the prints with acrylics, which slowly led me back into painting. Later on I used carved wooden blocks from India in demonstrations and to make wrapping paper and cards. My recent paintings include block prints, collage and other materials.
