Home In the Rock SOLD
I did this piece as an entry into the Colorado National Monument Association art show in November 2013. The bottom layer is rows of small paint chip samples. I wanted to build the rocks on that vertical structure. Very little of the original collage is visible (except for the rectangles peeking through in the sky […]
They Call it Civilization NFS
I did this little (10″x10″) collage on top of another because I did not want to waste a beautiful 2″ cradled board. I knew I wanted to use a lot of the magazine papers treated with Citrasolv, a natural product that serves to “melt” the printer’s ink. I entered the finished product in a juried […]

The Possibility of Birds – SOLD
This is a rework of an old piece. In the process of stripping off the offending art of a former effort, I realized I was making the most wonderful textures. I left a lot of the tear off and worked tree trunks on top. I then added foliage, again, leaving a lot of the torn […]
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 […]

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 […]
