PHTHALOCYANINE BLUEPhthalocyanine Blue is lightfast, transparent and an intense blue. The chemical composition of Phthalocyanine contains copper and shifts this blue toward the green side. Chemists in London in 1935 developed the pigment they gave the trade name Monastral Blue by accidental discovery. The kettle containing a Bristish dye plant was a byproduct of the dye process. The discovery filled the demand from printers for a pigment to replace Prussian Blue.

SOUL“I am a contemplative artist who has trouble accessing verbal skills. Finding the right words to talk about the amazing things I observe around me can be frustrating. It is much more natural for me to pick up a paintbrush, some embroidery floss or my camera when I wish to share some new discovery. The artwork I create is meant to be enjoyed on whatever level the viewer experiences it and not layered with complex meaning. Feathers, fur, flowers and the incredible variation I find in wildlife not only inspire me, but compel me to share every nuance with you. Archives
