As an artist who has been living in Arizona most of my life I derive much of my inspiration from the desert around me. My medium of choice to capture the textures and brilliance of the plants and animals is colored pencils. Each drawing consists of layer upon layer of color, to bring out the many subtle hues that nature itself provides.
Colored pencil provides a medium that is well suited to exploring the variety of effects and textures from parched crusty bark and dried leaves to waxy smooth flesh of the prickly pear cactus or shiny scales and dry folds of skin on the reptiles.
Originally an oil painter, sixteen years ago, I fell in love with watercolor and acrylic. Now, I think of myself as a "watermedia artist".
Manager of the WHAM gallery in Surprise, Diane has extensive experience of the proper way to frame an art piece. Diane gave a most informative demo which covered the history of framing through the years as well as giving us valuable information on how to choose the right framing for the individual piece. This information will help us as we prepare for our next exhibits.
