Rudo doodles
If you don’t know I doodle then you don’t know me. My dear friend Lydia got me into this free-form style back in our high school years in Lexington. I’ve been doing it for 20 years now and I always include doodle art in my correspondence and paperwork.

For Emma
As a full time worker and mama, making time for my art usually comes in the form of making things for special people on their special days. For her 30th birthday my friend Emma got this huge original art birthday card. Lots of fun to make, trying to capture her exuberance for life and new found home in NZ.

Druid Avocado
My homage to this incredible artist avocado stone faces and I have recently fallen in love with a lovely man who reminds me so much of this little guy. So I made a few versions of this but they’re not for sale because it’s really the IP of the amazing Jan.

Tiny village in the sea
So I make these tiny villages…it started when I was quite young and became fascinated with first blueprint sketches and then drawing the outsides of houses, and the it just expanded into wholes village scapes. I like thinking about the lifestyles of the people that live in these imaginary villages and creating dwellings based off those details only I know. This one is about a few inches big, and many thanks for my sister for sending me the pic.

Dutch windmill
Ah Dutch prints…how I love to recreate them. I drew it on really textured paper and it’s taken on a new personally. I love folk art and the flatness of printmaking. It’s kind of floaty but I think it works here.

Circus Symphony
A dear friend and art mentor told me these sketches were like symphonies…I liked that so much the name has stuck, so now every time I make one I just call it a variety of something plus the word symphony. This is called Circus because the colour palette feels like circus colours to me, and the simplicity of it is whimsical and elemental which reminds me of circus themes. I have a bazillion of these. I’ll try to dig more up.

Example of channeling
Sometimes I paint to convey energy and share with the viewer. I do it in the hopes that the experience of seeing it will heal or move them. I’ve started to work deeply with multi-disciplinary healing modalities and use art to bridge the modalities. In order to get this sort of artwork I have to be a channel for whatever is coming through me. It’s the most rewarding work, and definitely co-creation with something other than me. This image (which is called Kuan Yin) is part of series of colour therapy cards meant to be used in conjunction with aromatherapy, goddess meditation, vibrational energy healing, and colour ray therapy. It’s a long and wonderful story, don’t hesitate to enquire.

A new style!
I’m excited! I love circles and painting in abstract, and I love sketching animals. So this synthesis makes sense…I’ve just discovered it. The word Amai is mother, in the native language of my birth country (Zimbabwe). This is a birthday card for my Mother from this past March.

A Tiny Ship
This little schooner is about the size of my palm, so it’s all about finding the best and tiniest small tip pens. I recently discovered I love sailing, so I see more ship drawings in my future.
