I would like to introduce you to my newest small size series. I call it Cubic because each collage is made on a six inch square board.  Each one of them is comprised of thirty one inch squares which are miniature collages themselves.  They are primarily fiber but you will see a good inclusion of…

Good Morning…..
 
Now that life is settling down around here I can introduce my latest works.  They are a combination of my two favorite series and took a fair amount of time to make.  Each piece contains the tiles made from fabric scraps, paper, and house paint as well as the three-two-one inch squares. Although you…

After a very stressful and impacted two weeks, I feel finally free to work in my studio and get back in tune with what I really love to do: make art.

I have been working in yellow lately and find it to be a refreshing and invigorating color.  Both of these pieces involve painting on fabric.  Most…

Finally I have completed more of the mosaic pieces that were so well received in Santa Monica this month. My customers’ enthusiasm for these made it fun and imperative that I have many of these Tiled works at the shows. So I started applying paint to the fabric scraps left to me by my neighbor…

I had a wonderful trip and show in Santa Monica and I want to extend a warm thank you to all who visited my booth and to all who purchased my work.  You inspired me to get back into the studio as soon as possible and create more.  What I am posting today are four…

I am kindred with my artist ancestors and others who have come before me whose work makes…

Friday and Saturday of this past week were beautiful sunny days here in Northern California.  It was the perfect weekend for scavenging and finding new materials to work with. And I have been in need of something different, interesting, and inspirational.  I began my quest at the local scrap yard for which, lucky for me,…

     With all the rain and storminess we have had lately I have spent long hours in the studio. My energy has gone to working on new pieces for all of my series but particularly Meshed Up and No Even Edges.  Meshed Up is beginning to get complicated. Although I have had lots of experience…

I have been expanding my Deerfence series to include more types of mesh waste and junk mail.  These two pieces are the result.  I made the base about a month ago and I thought they were finished.  I even took pictures of them and posted them in this blog. Then I looked at them again…
