POEM-PAINTINGS
These paintings were generated in response to an invitation to collaborate with my husband, the poet Gregory Orr, for an exhibit entitled "Love Letter Invitational" at the Second St Gallery in Charlottesville, Va. The texts of his poems from two collections (Concerning the Book that is the Body of the Beloved, Copper Canyon Press 2005, How Beautiful the Beloved, Copper Canyon Press, 2009) are the subject-matter.
