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 […]

Mixed Media Collage with Oil 12″ x 12′ on cradled board For Sale: $500.00 I did this my latest in the series of forest collages as a demonstration for the Art Students’ League of Grand Junction in November.

Doppelganger
I decided to return to one of my favorite ways of doing art: abstract design on yupo paper using liquid acrylics. This piece began as a demonstration of a colorful substrate in my “Adventures in Mixed Media Class” at the Art Center. I brought it home and painted it as another in my series of […]
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.
Topiary Forest SOLD
This another of my mixed media oil experiments. It is truly a fantasy forest. I started it as a demo for a local art club and it soon took on a life of its own. It is done on a wrapped canvas and is 18 inches x 24 inches. It will be in the Dairy […]
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 […]
