The Lime Light began as a series of small paper collages made with a restricted palette of greens, neutrals, and black-and-white hand-painted papers. One became the reference this piece. The surface builds through a pale cream ground, layered glazes of lemon yellow and lime green, and spiraling black marks made with painted fishing line.

Warm neutrals meet deep teals in "Sky Bridge," a collage built from hand-painted and found papers, layered intuitively on panel — one torn edge leading to the next.

Lemon Sky is an abstract landscape collage made with hand-painted papers and a hidden line from Churchill — repeated over and over. Seeing what emerges when I start tearing and gluing is always a delight. And a mystery.
