My right hand has always had a life of its own...

While I am on the telephone, reading, listening to a lecture, it's been a doodler. Content has been semi-abstract... trees, flowers, leaves, curled patterns, mazes, amoeba... all the scribblings of the mind.

It came as no surprise to me that these same doodles inspired my right hand to venture into nature's realm, where I look at the relationship of nature and her organic materials with the availability of manmade stuffs, and what happens when these are combined.

The doodles are sometimes paper, but more often come in wood and metal form... small and large, often irregular in shape, using the depth of copper color, the sheen of metal... a varied color palette.


Even when I wasn't "art working," my mind was engaged in this way. As a psychologist I put ideas and people together, much as I now put materials and ideas together.

The challenge of new ideas and a new environment have been linked over a long time, and what I produce now is part of the uniqueness of the challenge of change today and then again tomorrow. I have been called "eclectic" in my work...and so it is, as are my doodles.
