I listen to the wind here in the Blue Ridge Mountains; to the rocks and the ancestors and the frustrations and elations that swirl through the seasons. I received training in traditional fine art media and practices but I often reverse engineer the products to meet materials in their most natural state. I use Virginia clay wood from surrounding trees charcoal from the fire salt rain water. it's much like conjuring. The imagery that emerges is often figurative often comforting often non-conforming. I have been practicing art making for 45 years. In my twenties I travelled and exhibited at every women's music festival I could find. In my thirties and forties I continued to produce work but showed only occasionally spending most of my time recovering from profound injuries sustained in a car accident in 1992. In my fifties I gained an artist's residency on a small farm in Central Virginia and I have been producing from this bucolic place ever since" -- Deborah Justice ; FINE/FINE <br/> <br/> iUniverse, New York, 2010 rev. date 06/30/2010 hardcover
