Recently the artist has been exploring a new series she calls the Survivor Series. These artworks have been described as “magic” and “moody” and have a strength to them. They usually include stormy cloud formations with a structure that is worn with character. The paintings depict a life that has dealt with much but is standing tall and surviving.
Greenstone Artworks is an art gallery, studio, and workshop located at 100 Main Street in Westcliffe, Colorado. It represents select southern Colorado artists in many different media and is the creative outlet for the fiber arts of Alpenglow Alpacas.
