Mahli Chito (tornado) 22”X28”
The Circle is a watercolor and ink abstracted floral and geometric patterns and designs reflective of traditional dance circles. The floras represent shawls, dresses, and regalia from above for dancers in an aerial view. It allows a loser and more fluid expression of emotion through organically created flowers with the watercolor. The process of creating these works is as important as each finished painting.

Natural Influences was the foundation body of work for the first time in her professional artist career. This body explored the use of watercolor mixed media pieces, photography expressed through giclee prints, wooden sculptural pieces mannered after floral regalia designs, and woodblock reduction pieces. This first body of work was her capstone exhibition at the Gardiner Art Gallery at Oklahoma State University Fine Arts Department. Her mentor professors were Mark Sisson and Jack Titus.
