Free Fly Art Show

lisa letter sizeMixed media abstracts

Salt Spring Gallery 135 McPhillips Ave

Oct 2- 21. Open Tues-Sat 11-4.

     My love of flyers began at age 8 when I watched a Cecropia moth emerge and eventually fly off.

     Presently I draw and paint with two wings whenever possible. Their swirls, loops and pivots draw me in.

     Their flight is wild, spontaneous, playful, full of exuberance, a precious luxury, a potent antidote to feeling pinned down.

     Painting in oil, dry pigment, graphite, enamel and cold wax maximizes creative possibilities as I mimic their joyful ribbons in the sky.
