My art is about the wonder and mystery of the life force.

Raised on the shores of the Mediterranean, and originally trained as a photographer, I paint with the colors of light. I frequently see color and fractal shapes or patterns around me that convey a sense of the dynamism, vitality and rhythms of life. Thus, rhythmic patterns often emerge in my paintings.

Internationally respected Magnum photographer Leonard Freed describes my paintings as having “a primitive power like that of Emil Nolde.” He further states that my work “is what painting is all about: It has a painterly quality and a primitive energy that is not conventional... Paintings must flow internally from the artist. Drummond’s work does this.”

Art dealer Richard Ruchala states that “Drummond does with circles and curves what Mondrian did with lines and angles.” He further comments that “Drummond’s neo-organic work is about experiencing life as being non-linear.”

My iconography developed during extensive painting expeditions I have taken to sacred sites around the world, including the Galapagos Islands, Uluru (or Ayers Rock) in Australia, Kilauea Volcano in Hawaii, the Buddhist temple Borobodur in Indonesia, Ellora and Ajanta rock temples in India, Anatolian archeological sites in Turkey, and Knossos Palace in Crete, among others. As the result of these extensive painting expeditions and subsequent art exhibitions, I was invited to become a member of the esteemed Society of Women Geographers.

Following are images from various series of paintings, collages and writings that resulted from those expeditions. Also included are other artworks, such as assemblages, posters, painted pottery and painted furniture.
