Tree People
This watermedia piece is the result of a class project that I assigned involving working in a grid. I worked on it for two class semesters actually. It started out as nine very similiar trees. It was boring. One of my students said that she saw faces in the trees so I took her suggestion […]
Colorado Winescape SOLD
I did this piece to enter in the annual Winefest poster contest at The Blue Pig Gallery in Palisade, Colorado. It didn’t win the contest for graphic design considerations, but it did get many nice compliments. It is a collage done on a 16 inch x 20 inch cradled gesso board. It is for sale […]
Palisade Tapestry SOLD
This is another in my series of collages with Mt. Garfield as the subject. This one is on a 16 inch x 20 inch wrapped canvas. This piece has been sold to the Mesa County Public Library for their art collection and is on display in the main branch.
Text Me SOLD
This collage grew from a prepared substrate on a 10 inch x 10 inch gessoboard. The substrate contained a piece of wallpaper border with Van Gogh’s Starry Night and I added sewing pattern tissues to it. I worked around a print of Botticelli’s Three Graces, although I took many liberties with it. I guess I […]
African Woman 2
Here is the second of three collages that I have done to honor the brave hearts of African women. This piece is done on a 10 inch by 10 inch box with wooden sides. No need for framing. It could even sit on a shelf or table. It is for sale for $400.00. I have […]
Come Into Our Cave SOLD
Here is another version of my cave concept. I tried to use all the watermedia tricks in my tool basket to make the images look both old and new, on purpose and accidental, thoughtful and frivolous, tribal and modern. It is an enigma for sure…but pleasing enough. This piece is 18 inches wide by 20 […]
African Woman 1-SOLD
I am working on a series of 12″x12″ collages based on images of African woman. I would like to honor their dignity and beauty as they face sometimes dire life circumstances. I have always loved the colorful clothes that these beautiful women wear. Even in refugee camps, they look brightly arrayed and not down-trodden. This […]
Greetings From The Web
This is the postcard (4×6 inches) that I entered in the National Collage Society postcard show in 2009. I was scrolling through my art folder today and really liked the way it looked. Hence, I am posting it. I did it as an assignment I gave one of my classes at the Art Center to […]
Magic Forest SOLD
I have just completed this collage on cradled board. It was my first attempt at a vertical forest. I am pleased with how it turned out…pleased enough to enter it in a show in Denver that coincides with the Biennial of the Americas. When my daughter, Liza, saw it, she said it reminded her of […]
