Pears


In this series, I use pears as a metaphor for human interactions. I explore this imagery in varied media, including glass, colored inks, pastels, watercolors, watercolor crayons, oil pastels, and graphite on both paper and mylar. The images are filled with color, motion, texture and pattern.
