Nymph Forest SOLD
This piece started out in my mixed media class as a demonstration of various mixed media techniques applied to watercolor paper. I decided it should be a forest and proceeded to apply a lot of additional transfer images to it to build the tree trunks and foliage. The original transfer of Mona Lisa remains visible […]
Looking Ahead SOLD
I was inspired by a random newspaper head shot of an author. I just liked the way she looked. This collage doesn’t look a bit like the photo reference, but I hope I captured the essence of a literary lady. It was built on a 12×12 cradled board and is currently being exhibited in the […]
Wooden Bridge on Audubon Trail SOLD
I created this collage painting to enter in the Riverfront Art and Photography Show celebrating the 25th Anniversary of the Colorado Riverfront Project in Grand Junction, Colorado. I did the collage from an original photograph that I took while walking one of my favorite trails. It is made up of many bits and pieces […]
Glorious Garfield SOLD
Once again I have depicted good ol’ Mount Garfield in a collage. I decided to do a horizontal orientation this time because Garfield is really a horizontal silhouette as it stands at the end of the ridge of the Little Bookcliffs overlooking the Grand Valley. I decided to use stripes (many zebras)as a motif with […]
Lady Tiles-SOLD
This small piece was done for a class project to demonstrate grid composition. I used Photoshop to manipulate copies of a watercolor painting I had done in a life drawing session. I then cut out the images and applied them to a cradled board. I was planning on adding more collage material and/or paint, but […]
Bill’s Tree SOLD
My former hairdresser, Bill, had an intriguing weeping mulberry tree in his front yard. It was full of intertwined branches in the winter and full of birds in the nicer weather. I always loved to walk by it on my way to his hair salon. Bill passed away in April 2012. I attempted this rendition of […]
Making Peace with Circles-SOLD
This watermedia piece was done on a hand-made piece of paper. True to my style, it also has layers of collaged materials underneath. It turned into a grid by accident as I stamped in the circles. I named it “Making Peace with Circles” because of the calm blue background and the fact that I do […]
Rock Face-SOLD
I just completed this mixed media collage to exhibit at the Mesa County Library in conjunction with selected pieces from the permanent collection of The Art Center. The exhibit is about Mesa County landscapes. I am generally reluctant to do an artwork depicting the Monument. I have always considered it to be a daunting undertaking […]
Early Morning Bird Meeting SOLD
This is the third in my series of forest collages populated by birds and done on a 10×10 inch cradled board. It was featured in my show at The Dairy Art Center in Boulder, Colorado in July 15, 2011. This piece sold at the 2014 KAFM art auction.
