About the Print

"The Willims Sisters, 36 is an early water portrait created during my tenure on the University of Maryland art faculty. Together with my students, we observed the colorful water reflections as two young sisters were diving in and out of the pool at the Greenbelt Aquatics Center. This piece is created on an Iris Printer at Old Town Editions in Alexandria, Virginia, a professional digital print lab specializing in fine art reproductions. With a commitment to producing richly vibrant tonality with accurate color rendition, Old Town was the first in the DC metro area to provide top-quality archival performance, particularly difficult to achieve through traditional inkjet technology at the time.
While documenting children, elderly, and families in the water, I have served on the faculties of UNC, Duke, and the University of Maryland, where I use the backdrop of the swimming pool as an opportunity to express light, design, and pattern through observation of water and reflection. As an artist, I use water as a metaphor to describe issues pertaining to control and release, healing and harm, beauty, and fear. As a community worker, teacher, and colleague, I see water, and the swimming pool specifically, as the perfect teaching arena combining interactive and practical skills when people of all ages and development stages are learning to swim or enjoying the therapeutic healing aspects water has to offer."
