It all pencil and marker. But I draw it using illusions. My wood pieces are even better and usually confuse people. I wish I could carve them but that would probably take years. Thanks for the feedback!
Have you ever tried Printmaking? You could carves these images into wood, linoleum, or (may favorite) safety-cut blocks and ink and print many of these. A wood carving by itself would be great, no need to ink it. I love the lines in your drawings.
Love the work! Great ideas!!! I am a artist who has lost her way by having to take jobs I hate, and are totally counter to my nature. My art ability is innate, and has been stifled & rolled into the back seat. I admire you and your web site. I have become paralized, and have a very low self esteem due to the fact I look at others work, and think wow I ain’t beans. Back to the crayons. I would love to find people of similar minds. Creative, sensitive, & encourageing. I can’t get this from those around me nor do they take my talent seriously. To make a pay check you must work for the great machine. I was laid off in 08, and DO NOT want to go back to what I was doing. I am 54 and it’s about time I do what is natural to me. Creativity & Art. Learn more by being exposed to those with the same thiinking. Maybe you can point me the way. Dead in Denver
This is beautiful art work. You “liked” a post of mine and so I thought I’d check out your blot. What a nice surprise. Lovely, lovely and I am now partial to the Masfrica piece. Really inspiring – Happy 2012!!!
gr8.thank for dropping into my blog..n liking my post.may i know ur trur identity, ur name, location n ur profession.
happy new year to u.
keep in touch

This is awesome. I usually draw little spiral mazes when my mind wonders but I never thought of putting them in a planed out piece with them connecting. I might just have to try it, thank you for the idea.
Don’t know how you found my blog but thanks for liking one of my posts. I think yours is a great idea, and can inspire others to follow their dreams. Good luck with your project.
I love your mazes. I am African but I have not put Africa in my art in years, yet you have achieved this so gracefully in a lot of your African influenced mazes. Well done.
You sound a bit like me in regards to being afraid to work on a piece further just in case ‘I destroy it’. I think Each artist is his/her own critique. Believe in what you are doing and it will work out.
I will come back to see more of your art and I’ll check to see if I find your stories on your blog, even snippets to give me a taste.
I got so carried away about your art that I almost forgot to say thanks. Thanks for liking my blog :-))
What i do not understood is actually how you are not actually much more well-liked than you may be now. You are very intelligent. You realize thus significantly relating to this subject, made me personally consider it from so many varied angles. Its like men and women aren’t fascinated unless it’s one thing to do with Lady gaga! Your own stuffs excellent. Always maintain it up!
Great stuff! And I really love mazes. I Tweeted and LinkedIn you too. Good luck and hope it all works out. Reminds me of both Nazca lines and computer generated mazes and labyrinths.
You’ve got some real talent. It’s worth developing. Check out the work of John Biggers, who drew significantly on African art and legend. He did murals. One was moved from the Houston Convention Center upon demolition and is now in the Wortham Theatre, Houston’s opera house. He also did book illustrations. I grew up with his pictures via Dog Ghosts and other Texas Negro Folktales.
Are these pen and ink? Amazing! Approximately how long do you work on a piece? I’ll bet the detail is meditative for you. I find your work provocative and truly beautiful.
Thank you for liking my post. Its much appreciated. Your art is AMAZING! keep doing what your doing. Wish you the best. Take care, have a nice week 🙂
Your a-maze-ing … I’m sure it isn’t the first or the last time you were hear that, but truly I really enjoy your art and you are very talented.. thanks for the like!
even though sometimes the mazes are sometimes abstract for me, it somehow reflect my inner thinking system :)) seriously, it’s neat, tidy, and at a glance quite complicated to get all through easily.
Thanks for the like on my blog, I just thought I would give you the chance of me looking at yours and very fortunately I have ended up seeing some fabulous art. Keep up with the good work!
ART MAZE A DAY I was recommended this web site by my cousin. I’m not sure whether this post is written by him as no one else know such detailed about my difficulty. You are wonderful! Thanks! your article about ART MAZE A DAYBest Regards Justin
These are wonderful, I know you’ve haven’t done too many, but you should get them together when you have enough and publish a book – a picture one one page, and a description, poem, or story on the other. Either glossy and coffee table style, or workbook style for children to interact with, they’d be very theraputic! They’re really wonderful, and the energy that comes from them is fantastic, it’s easy to feel how much loving effort went into them. Keep it up!
Thanks for liking the African Body Adornment Project 2012 post! Wow, your art rocks. I can not wait to see more. Sometimes we need a mentor or life coach to keep us focused, progressive and the like. Of course you know failures are simply the result of you trying and believing in yourself and your gifts. You have faith and ‘faith always moves towards it’s goal’ – Marvin L. Winans, pastor. I will stay in touch.
Well done! I travelled to South Africa a few years ago and your work has captured the raw feeling of the land. Keep up the great work. Nothing like a puzzle to make people think.

Wow I love your art!! (definitely NOT a fail !!!) i work on picture books (very unfinished) and I have heard it is easier to get published thru companies in the UK and Australia… and printing for self publishing is very inexpensive but beautiful in Bali. i hope you keep making your art! Cheers
Incredible…I wasn’t sure what your blog would be about — you liked my blog so I visited yours. Your artwork is inspiring. I’ve always enjoyed solving mazes, but your work takes it to another level!
Warren Stokes Art 
These remind me of the work my granmother used to do! She found alot of satisfaction and joy in her art- and so should you!! 😀
Well, I like your art very much! more art, more stories, more mazes, please! hugs, pat
Hi, nice work looks very labour intensive, are the drawings part of a carved surface or do they sit on top of the finish?
It all pencil and marker. But I draw it using illusions. My wood pieces are even better and usually confuse people. I wish I could carve them but that would probably take years. Thanks for the feedback!
Hey! My ~real~ work generally confuses people too! (admittedly for very different reasons but still…) Right on (:
-Stacy
love your work, very visually stimulating and inspiring!!
Have you ever tried Printmaking? You could carves these images into wood, linoleum, or (may favorite) safety-cut blocks and ink and print many of these. A wood carving by itself would be great, no need to ink it. I love the lines in your drawings.
you’re onto something. very interesting

Thanks for commenting on my blog . . . I love your art and your a-maze-ing view of life. I can totally understand the puzzlement and wonder.
Very impressive and very original. I know more than one of these will make excellent tattoos. Keep up the good work young lady. 🙂
These are fabulous! I love Masfrica, it speaks a very complex message Very unique and creative
Your artwork is really unique; it’s truly beautiful.
All the animals look amazing, but I especially love the owls! They would make fantastic characters in a kids story!!
Keep up the drawing, you’re so talented 🙂

Oh, the animals .. the elephants, the giraffes! You are really talented, please know that! Beautiful ..
I also love the concept of your blog, and I will keep checking in on you to see how your book is going. Stay strong, and believe 🙂
These are incredible.
Some good examples of working from the right brain.
Beautiful work maze. Thanks for the visit to my blog.

Love the owls. But –
Take the time to illuminate your work evenly, bounce a light source off a sheet of paper, something to give even view of the work.
Use something as elemental as iPhoto to reproduce exact contrast range, sharpness, before posting online.
The first suggestion takes a couple minutes the first time you set up. A few seconds thereafter.
The second suggestion takes less than a minute once you establish parameters.
Your work is lovely, creative. Give it the best possible chance to be appreciated and purchased.
Very cool!!!! And I really love the owls. I hope you go forward with that book.
Whoa. This stuff is AWESOME! I hope you finish the book soon.
Lovely art! I especially love the owls (my favorite creature!).
Hi,
Thanks for stopping by my blog. I love your artwork, my favourite is the elephant 🙂
fantastic !
amazing…..
Love “Roll Tide”!
Your work is so detailed. Each piece must take a lot of time and dicipline. I wish you the very best of luck with your project.
Creative
Inspiring
i must confess that your mazes are great!! NICE!
Wow – you are amazingly talented..I especially love the owls – they look both tender and wise..
Love it!
I love mazes!
Nice picture, I’d really like your picture about Africa continent.
you are really talented 🙂
Really nice, I appreciate the African influence
these are amazing! I’ve been toying with an idea for a colouring in book for adults but your mazes take things to a new level! wow 🙂
Hooray! Like the way your art flows.
Fantastic work!

WOW! I love this! You have really captured the spirit of the animals. Lovely and different! But still classical!

I’m late to the show but loving the work. I’m sharing with my friends!
Simply awesome
When I first saw your work I thought of wood/lino cuts, fabric prints, big interior fabric prints, in an arts and crafts style, they are brilliant!
Beautiful work!!! Depth and warmth. I love the giraffes and the piece depicting the motherland.
Enjoyed your work. Thanks for sharing. 🙂
good stuff. i love that elephant

Incredible things coming out of your brain! Looking forward to the year of images.
Warmly,

Hi,
Your art is amazing! I truly loved the elephant.
I believe that no matter what type of project we endeavor to do, especially if it is significant to you, it will cause anxiety of making a mistake.
Thanks for visiting my blog.
