Vodka Forest SOLD
I finished this collage rather quickly on top of an old one that wasn’t working well. I used Jonathan Talbot‘s technique of dry collaging with papers coated in polymer gloss. Applying heat with an iron seals the pieces to each other and the ground. I believe it the the collagist’s “alla prima” method, since once […]
Fantasy Forest SOLD
This forest collage had been on my easel for many months awaiting transformation. It was originally an autumn forest scene that just didn’t ring any bells for me. I thought briefly about adding old buildings into the background and after a trip to Disneyland, I was inspired to make sparkly and colorful trees and foliage […]
Garfield Redux SOLD
I just completed this collage on wrapped canvas for the Art Center Auction which takes place in May 2014. I think I have said all that I can say about Mt. Garfield, the strange, iconic shale mountain that overlooks the Grand Valley. This piece is 16″x20″ and to buy it you must attend the auction […]

Ladies In Waiting SOLD
These four 6″x9″ canvas panels were done for the annual miniature show at The Blue Pig Gallery in Palisade. I did ink-jet transfers of prints of one of my watercolor figures and added collage elements to them. They are all sitting in front of windows…waiting.
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 […]
