Hello there! How are you holding up?
This strange time has gone on longer than most of us ever imagined. Days seem both to be skipping by and dragging into a big blur. In my studio time, I’ve been experimenting!
I’ve come to think of this set of “doodle ladies” as The Quarantine Queens.
They began with an impulse when I discovered a forgotten pile of old inkjet photo paper. I improvised mono printing with a mirror and acrylic paint for ink. Making a big mess…and some interesting swirling blobs.
They took off in all sorts of directions. It’s fun finding faces and figures in all the chaos of shapes.
Like all queens some are pretty and some not so much…but each has a power of her own.
They all have a windy & wild feel with a nod to fashion with batting eyelashes and headress hats. Masks like veils of protection so much more interesting than the cut-up T-shirt ones I’ve been wearing;)
I hope you enjoy them as a little escape into creative imagination! Stay safe and be well!
“Come on, fight me as a queen would.”

“Think like a queen. A queen is not afraid to fail. Failure is another steppingstone to greatness.”
