These
large expressionistic drawings are a graphic record of powerful, even violent,

The vibrant abstract forms are devoid of color, except for black, white and
occasional blood red.

endows these features with grand and epic drama.

"Washi"Japanese handmade paper creating a new art form for her. The artist rips,
