Enchanted Forest – SOLD
This piece was my second attempt at a forest collage and it is the one with which I am happiest. I love that fact that some of the trees on the left side of the painting are actually pictures of asparagus. This image has been featured on the 2013 Annual Report for UNESCO’s World Heritage […]
Forest Light 2 – SOLD
This is an example of the latest incarnation of my forest collage series. It is done on a 60 inch by 24 inch cradled board and as such doesn’t need framing. It is constructed of photos, found papers, magazine papers, tissue paper, cheesecloth and lots of paint and UV varnish. I wanted to see if […]
Ghosts of Africa
This is my watermedia version of Stopping Traffic (see collages). It love embellishing these mystical figures. This painting was juried into the Western Colorado Watercolor Society Show in 2009 where it won a merchandise award. It is currently at Foothills Art Center in Golden, Colorado where it was juried into the Rocky Mountain National Watermedia […]
Dust Up – SOLD
So I am into dots these days. This piece started out as a landscape based on a photo taken in my neighborhood. I began it in a workshop I was teaching to demonstrate using loosely drawn black lines using a pipette bottle. After I finished applying my black lines, one of my students said it […]
Blue and Yellow – SOLD
Another still life with sunflowers which is a theme I keep coming back to. It must be the spirit of Vincent Van Gogh in my studio influencing me. This is a collage using a wonderful piece of yellow dot paper (the dots are bits of wax) that my friends brought back to me from Santa […]
Buffalo Gal – SOLD
This was a commission that I did for a good friend who is a dedicated horsewoman. I used pictures of horses to depict her long curly hair. This was done from a photo reference.
Collage Self Portrait Number One
My first attempt at a self portrait in collage came as the result of an assignment that I gave one of my collage classes at the Art Center. It was juried into the First Frontier Collage Society National Show in 2005. I did another collage self portrait in 2009 which is included in the profile […]
Complementary Lady – SOLD
Well, this collage has an interesting history. It started out as a watercolor of a seabed–fairly abstract. As such it was juried into a local exhibition of “contemporary” art. It hung around my studio for a while. Then I discovered a new technique in a workshop I attended with Joanne Ruggles. It involves drawing with […]
Havana Serenade SOLD
This piece was a class demonstration on using connecting geometrics. It took on a life of its own as another rumination on our Cuban experiences. I am sure it means something profound—but to me it is a celebration of the Cuban people and their music. This piece is part of the collection of a popular […]
