I am the founder and director of the Mobile Art Program, a 501(c)3organization. With a staff of two part-time instructors we go into nursing homes and senior day care centers to teach drawing, painting and ceramics to the elderly and disabled adults. Working with this population has inspired me to be more fluid in my own art. We usually only have 1 - 1.5 hours to create works of art so they have to be spontaneous. I am working on incorporating that spontaneity in my prints. "Beneath the Blue" was a print in which I allowed accidents and quick decisions to determine the outcome of the image. The only element that is specific in design is the octopus.
