Just a couple of updates….
“Enlightenment”
This piece has been juried into the Springville Art Museum for this years “Spring Salon” running from April 20-July 1st. If you have a chance, stop by to see this incredible show,it is such an honor to have been accepted.
I will be teaching at Maureen Carlsons beautiful retreat May 4-6 2012 Can’t wait see you all!!! We will be working on our “Personal Portraits” using the “Faux Batik’ technique. Sooooo much fun!!
I just finished this mixed media piece…..I think I’ll go call my mom…
Title: Nostalgia
For some of us, the idea of returning to our past, especially our childhood has a certain push and pull that leaves us wanting. Feelings of belonging and security are comforting but give way to the reality of the present. Memories of happenings good or bad are dusted ever so carefully with a touch of fantasy, and remembrance mixed with nostalgia makes us long for that perception of what once was.
I’ve just finished the project that I’ve been working on while taking Michael deMeng’s texture class. What a fun adventure it’s been.
Title: The Guardian
We all need someone to lean on… someone we can depend on to look out for us, to give us strength and encouragement. A friend, parent, neighbor, spouse, someone that “has our back” as they say or would “go to bat” for us. Wealth can be described in many ways, but there is no price tag for loyalty and devotion. This fierce guardian is ready to give her all to protect and defend. I’m glad she is on my side.
Spent the day Antiquing with my awesome sister…
WOW! We hit the mother lode! Can’t wait to see what comes to life!!
I’m having a blast experimenting with techniques from Michael deMeng’s texture class. I’m hoping that I can use them for background on pieces that are just too large to fit into my oven. It’s a perfect compliment for my style and clay designs. Sooooo much fun!!
Have I ever told you how much I love transfers!
If you are familiar with my work, from simple jewelery pieces to complex mixed media assemblages, you most likely have noticed that transfers are EVERYWHERE…..here we go again.
Just for fun……I tried a version of poly fiber masking on canvas. This was so much fun and would make a really fun class…..hmmm… who would like to give this a try?…..pick me, pick me!!
New Year’s resolution…..
Title: Time Out
Our lives are wound so tight. Wouldn’t it be great if we could walk through a clock, stopping time and take a breath of fresh air, feel the warm sunshine on our cheeks whenever we need it. Maybe we could pretend we are on a beautiful beach over looking the waves and listening to the palm trees swaying in the breeze. We all deserve “Time Out” to nurture ourselves and delight in the wonder of nature that connects us all.
