Fresh Peaches
going home I saw a sign with a watermelon painted on it with an arrow pointing down a gravel road and the words 'fresh peaches' painted under the watermelon. This was the beginning of the 'Healin Symbols'
For the past three decades I have been working with a language created from 26 images juxtaposed with 26 words that do not necessarily go together. This personal iconography reflects my fascination with language, both visual and verbal, and our ways of communication, or lack thereof. It has taken me years to collect this language and incorporate into my paintings, prints, drawings, and sculpture. The language is called “The Healin’ Symbols.”
