Sandra Stowell
I am one of so many artists in Port Townsend!
I am a mixed media artist with a particular interest in drawing, digital transformations, and sculpture. I use pencil, water soluble graphite, charcoal, colored pencil, pastels, Conte crayon, ink, paint, along with found objects, silk threads, cheesecloth, beeswax, driftwood, my computer, and more. I save and use my own work as elements in both physical and digital collage; I use a computer, scanner and archival ink jet printer as artists tools to modify and create new images. I especially enjoy the layering and combining intrinsic to print making and collage. I make art to satisfy myself, and to share my experiences. Art is self expression: a visual journal of my experiences and emotions. At times I want to communicate the sense of mystery and delight I feel when I look around at natural and man made objects. At other times I may express the angst & pain I observe around me, or experience in my own life.
