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 […]
Palisade Patchwork SOLD
I finished this piece for the Art Center’s Annual Art Auction. Each year this fund-raiser is held in Grand Junction at our Art Center to raise much needed funds for the organization’s art and education programming. It is a collage on cradled wood board, 22 inches wide by 36 inches long. The retail price is […]
Three Martini Lunch – NFS
This painting started out as a response to a challenge posed by this year’s program for the Rocky Mountain Collage Society. We were asked to bring a black and white collage to our November meeting. I collaged a random selection of black and white collage pieces onto a piece of yupo. I then began to […]
Mt. Garfield Area Map-SOLD
This collage is done on a 40 inch by 30 inch wrapped canvas and is the second in a series of Mt. Garfield (the iconic hill of the Bookcliffs near Grand Junction). It was chosen to represent Southwestern Colorado in the Creative Capitol Series sponsored by the Colorado Council on the Arts and is currently […]
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 […]
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.
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 […]
