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 […]
Old City SOLD
I have had this piece floating around my studio for a while and it has gone through several incarnations. I just happened to look at it the other day and realized I really like it. The inspiration is Jerusalem. It is watermedia on collaged paper. This piece won the Leon T. Hake Memorial Award at […]
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 […]
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 […]

I collaged a random selection of black and white collage pieces onto a piece of yupo. I then began to […]

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 […]
Wildfire Afternoon SOLD
I painted this experimental watermedia piece on Yupo* several summers ago during an extreme drought in Colorado. There was an almost constant smoky haze and odor in the air from the many wildfires around the region. I thought the intense hot colors of red, orange and rose had to be counter-balanced by shots of blues […]
