The move to Salem offered first a basement studio and eventually a studio in the backyard with a borrowed printing press. Teaching, as a working artist, became an important aspect of life with the opportunity to teach Basic Design at Willamette University as well as printmaking and watercolor at Bush Barn Art Center and Chemeketa Community College.Tuesday evening library visits downtown were often followed by stops in Minto Brown Park and walks along the river. These evenings inspired multiple pieces of work including a few screenprints.Having a press in the studio offered the opportunity to explore three-color monoprints. Color started as a central theme. Creating luscious views of everyday life with three colors led to a variety of approaches to expression.Walks from the home, through the garden to the studio in the backyard, lead to many gardening adventures which, over time, grew to inspire many still-life compositions. Still-life screenprints made their way into multiple collections, including the University of Oregon Knight Library collection and multiple shows in the Northwest, including the Oregon Governor's Office Gallery.The still-life moved from plants as subject matter to plants as objects defining space. The Pink Tulips screenprint offers a world created by color and plants. This print is in the Chinese National Museum collection.
