The images in FOLIATE all have a common point of departure – a two color silkscreen of a foliate motif, each piece resolved in a unique manner using gouache, watercolor, pastels, colored pencils and markers. Birds, insects and lush vegetal matter populate the images and some are collaged with patterns derived from textiles, wallpaper, architectural elements, ceramics, etc. Usually, several prints are worked on concurrently, flitting from one to another as they evolve.
