My art is a visual biography of societal interactions.

Biography

Inky’s journey began in grade school from attending after school art lessons. This glimpse into the creative process ignited what would become a lifelong journey in art. Her work flows between the genre of primitive art and surrealism. Inky’s experience includes college art training, teaching art to adults and children through art education in public institutions. As an art educator in North Carolina she created an cross curricular program that developed a path for students to exhibit art related to a visiting author program. She worked on the Cleveland Museum of Art’s Parade the Circle and attended art classes. Her art has been in a multitude of juried exhibitions. Inky was selected as as artist for The Rock n’ Roll Hall of Fame GuitarMania sponsored by The Eaton Corporation. The motivating force that keeps Inky going is an undeniable thirst to create art.
