10 x 10

This year I was invited to participate in the 10 x 10 exhibition at the Coconino Center for the Arts. One of the pieces I donated was sold on opening night. It is an honor to show beside so many exceptional local artists. Deepest gratitude to the Center for the invitation and exposure.

"Before This", 10 x 10", mixed media on panel

"Fathers", 10 x 10", mixed media on panel (sold)

New "Figures"

Here are my most recent mixed media works. I've incorporated some more deliberate representation than usual. I see them as figures, my children call them trees; really it's up to you, the viewer, to decide for yourself how you regard them.

Works on Paper (continued)

Here is another group of mixed media works on 12x12" paper.

On Place and Memory

     Here is the chair I modified for the Chairs for Change auction and benefit for girls' education by FALA, hosted by Coconino Center for the Arts. I was honored to be asked to participate.

     I bought a chair at a local thrift shop and sanded it down. I drew on paper grocery bags with a graphite stick, and coated the paper with decoupage medium. I then tore the paper and decoupaged it to the chair. After the chair was completely covered, I applied a final coat of acrylic matte medium. It took approximately 20 hours labor to complete.

     The title of the piece is On Place and Memory and it incorporates my drawing style with the chair symbol that I am currently exploring in my photography.
