Saying I am excited to return to Artwalk this summer is an understatement. I have new work, new subject matter and am using new mediums. I have been drawing more, and I must confess drawing has always been my first love, but drawings are harder to keep safe. So I turn to the brush, myContinue reading “Summer 2022 : New Art & the ArtWalk”

Holiday Gift Ideas
This year has been hard and we all could use something to look forward to. I am pleased to share with you my 2020 holiday gift ideas
I am finally back at the easel with … Marble Marble
After my adventures down the inktober road in the fall my creative endeavours slowed to almost a halt. I have been struggling with some chronic bursitis in my shoulder and healing at that time was taking all my energy. Finally with the new year well underway I am feeling strong and ready to take theContinue reading “I am finally back at the easel with … Marble Marble”
The Power of Greyskull!
Late last night I was able to complete He-man & Battle-Cat. My little brother was a serious fan of He-man. I clearly remember him wheeling his giant plastic sword around inciting the power of greyskull. Having a 4 year old around re enacting similar scenes shakes of the cobwebs off of old memories and theyContinue reading “The Power of Greyskull!”
A studio date with my son
This Wednesday afternoon my son asked me to paint with him in the studio. He has a painting easel set up next to mine in my studio. So down we went into the painting studio, we adorned our smocks, put some tunes on and began the painting adventure. For about 30 minutes we painted andContinue reading “A studio date with my son”

His personal detail are “CLASSIFIED” all we know is he is highly skilled and lives in seclusion with hisContinue reading “A Real American Hero”
The View Master, the first virtual reality toy
I love this new piece, The View Master. I can clearly remember sliding the little white disks with tiny cells into the slot atop the red View Master, pressing my eager eyes to it revealing a 3D image and the beginning of a story. A toy that many generations have had, and as I recentlyContinue reading “The View Master, the first virtual reality toy”
Non Realism Success!
It worked, it worked! That dreaded black canvas that I have repainted a few times this month has finally accepted the image. SUCCESS!! I am thrilled. This piece is black and white reversed and a stylized impression of looking up a twisted tree. It was finished last night at 3am in the cover of myContinue reading “Non Realism Success!”
An encaustic moment
I have continued to play with the encaustics, the medium is so rigid and transparent that layering becomes essential and creates a very unique texture and depth. I like it! The piece below was gift to my sons father for Christmas. He and our son walking hand in hand to the truck after lunch thisContinue reading “An encaustic moment”
Ink-austic-ober….That’s a thing right?
Well it’s inktober and I kinda bent the rules. I did draw in ink, but I covered it in encaustics. I haven’t been able to explore the encaustics much since before my son was born. They are not recommended for pregnant and breast feeding moms. So they sat for almost 2 years in my studio,Continue reading “Ink-austic-ober….That’s a thing right?”
