142 bis gallerie





unless you have been living under a rock..
or are in another country...

you have probably heard about the 
devastating
floods in Colorado...

last summer they literally burned up ...
suffering terrifying forest fires 
and this year, the flooding cut off towns and destroyed lives...
it breaks my heart...



alley in Fort Collins...



even though I know that all is well,
it is hard to see the photos and videos and listen to the dismay in
my friends voices...
and the best I can do is keep them all safe and tight in
heart...



in August we journeyed back home for a tiny visit...
and I took these pics of 






and 
142
Bis
Gallerie


the antique planter box at the front window...




I am so blessed to be represented by
Meg DeWeese...
the shop and gallery is such a perfect fit in many ways...
first of all, it looks splendid in her environment...
and second, she really, "gets me"

we have been friends for many years
and she understands the quirky way my 
artist mind works..
my love of layers and textures
my passion for old, foxed and crumbled...papers
my love affair with paint...




my work above the clever card fence...


more work below...










the gallery is located downstairs,
to the right of the clock...
descend carefully...



wrapping papers and ribbons and cards oh my...


It is a feast for the senses...


lots of gorgeous antique fixtures in this store.. and gallery



my photos do not do it justice, because it is such a sensual experience..

all of my new work featured in
in the Portfolio article
will be 
going to Bis for a show this fall..
AND

I will be back soon with 
a fall give away...

because 
moving is imminent!!
