It’s been a gorgeous Spring!!!!  I hurt my hand recently and haven’t been able to hold scissors or pins.  Oh no!!!!  But – I could use a camera!  So I’ve been out of the studio, tromping through the trees….  Maybe a subject for a future collage?

I’m back in the studio now.  Hallelujah!!

Last Thursday I went on a Field Trip with Dianne Poinski (close friend and wonderful artist, www.DiannePoinski.com).  The plan was to photograph foothills.  Of course, get two artists together, and you may not have the most linear experience…..  Here’s my favorite shot of the day.  I know…..  It’s not foothills…..  We made a couple of stops along the way.  And then we took the wrong path once we got to the foothills.  Next time we’ll know which way to go.  But meanwhile, I got some great shots!  I may share some more in the next few days.  Stay tuned!

I didn’t get to show off the finished collages.

They had to be rushed to Texas.  But….
I now have PRINTS available

There will be
ONLY 36 PRINTS
in each of the limited editions of Mission San Jose and Mission Espada
so get ‘em while they last!!

I have them in my studio, or feel free to order them online.
Custom sizes are available

I GOT IT!!!!  Thanks to everyone for thinking positive thoughts!  And thanks to Joe and Connie who loaned me “Sonora Stone 2″, so I’d have an original fabric collage to show the selection panel.  And thanks to all of the stars for aligning in just the right way…..  not to mention the full moon!

 I’m very happy and honored to report that I will be creating original fabric art for Los Angeles County.  More to come as details are worked out.  But for now…..

It’s time to CELEBRATE!!!!!

Yesterday I loaded up the car with all manor of artwork and headed south.  I am one of four finalists for a public art project for the county of Los Angeles.  Wish me luck!  The presentation was today.  I think it went well…..   But I don’t know how well the other three did…..  Like I said, wish me luck!  I’ll keep you posted.

Happy Valentines Day everyone!!

Today was a special day for those of us in love with R Street.  The project (formerly known as Capital Artists Lofts) we’ve all been waiting for, the Warehouse Artists Lofts, had its groundbreaking just this morning.  Yay!!!!

Welcome to my studio!! Look left and you can see my current work in progress. Look right and you can see the flat files that hold my prints. And you can tell it’s February…. See the Valentine’s Day candy on the little table by the door?

I hope everyone has plans for this Thursday!  Happy Heart Day!! By the way….  If you need a last minute gift, my small prints are on sale for only $80…..  And sets of notecards are only $20.  Just mentioning….
