Magic Paintbrush-early drawings from 1987-1997

The thing about becoming an "older artist" is the layered build of perspectives and experience as each life period streams a new body of work. When I made these raw painting-drawings in my twenties I had literally nothing-no money, no studio, and certainly no equipment. I had a humble little watercolor set and not much else. What I did have was a very mythical and rich connection to the world of the Muse and the Psyche. I treasure this part of myself and my history, and long to return to it. (And return I will as I am now equipped with what I lacked then.) I have never shared these drawings with the public before. In September 2024 my studio complex was massively flooded by Hurricane Helene. These drawings were miraculously spared and I am happy to share them with you!
