PATTER HELLSTROM

Current work is on a large-scale. The Yupo panel are in a calligraphic style. The paintings incorporate the expressive qualities seen in the paintings from Masterworks Institute for Works on Paper November 2007 exhibition ~ Navigating Expression.

This new calligraphic work was created with acrylic inks on YUPO synthetic material. Yupo is machine-made polypropylene material with a neutral pH with a smooth surface. These new works were first exhibited in November 2007 at Masterworks Institute for Works on Paper in San Francisco.

The Dharma series focussed on large scale expressive works on paper. Masterworks Institute for Works on Paper began representing this work in 2005 in San Francisco. This work has been exhibited in both San Francisco and New York.

Installations created with natural materials such flowers, tumbled glass and rock, connect my interior thoughts on interdependence and impermanence to the larger natural world.
