A Bridge Too Far..

 

Well dear readers!

I have good news to share …

my work,

A Bridge Too Far

From my Ripped and Torn series

Has been chosen to grace the cover of a book

Printed by a French company that

Specializes in Psychology books

I am so honored that A Bridge Too Far was chosen for this as it is a perfect match for my work..

My Ripped and Torn series is a

deeply layered emotional series…

The company tried  to mail me three copies but ran into

Trump’s tariffs and it was too expensive 

As well as a ridiculous policy .. 

so a colleague was

going to New York and mailed them to me from there

I am most appreciative!

And thankful

To Sophie Leo and Véronique Sidoit for choosing my 

Work.

We are home from our trip

and back at work..

As always many thanks for stopping by 

The Lily cottage 

Ciao, Ciao!

Through The Tear We Rise

 

Ciao!

Gentle readers!

I have finished a new piece in the Ripped and Torn series 

It’s concerning freedom…

And our inalienable rights given to us 

Through our constitution..

We are at a point where we must all stand for

Our freedom…

To see this piece, and the two other pieces

In this Series 

Go to 

 Mixed Media gallerie,

Mixed Media Art Journal Pages

Ciao, dear readers..

I am slowly getting back into the studio and creating again..

I started my May Art Journal Pages

before I left for my 

EXCAVATIONS show..

I am still obsessed with paper manipulation ideas..

and while I intend to begin

doing some painting..

it was nice to play and construct and deconstruct paper..

this is undoubtedly my favorite monochromatic

scheme..

I love playing in it, the simplification seems to be it's own

great story..

Ingredients: Mono prints, antique book pages, paper, acrylic ink, colored pencil, pencil, adhesive.

We are working on a new YouTube video for this week

on organic dyes..

and I am finishing up work

on my ephemera packs..

and yes I will be painting soon..

and looking forward to some lazy days

poolside..

Thanks always for stopping by,

I so appreciate your kind attention..

EXCAVATIONS Show and Book Cover Class

Ciao, my dear ones..

I have softly landed and am taking a little time

to get back in the creative flow..

Holding a one woman show and class means 

that I was working

at capacity and I am used to 

far more quiet time..

but...

 it was

Fabulous!

and I was so happy to see everyone...

and my students were so dear and wonderful!! 

This little video will give you an idea of what the gallerie space is like,

and where my art work lives..

here is the link

for the gallerie site

Meg and I agreed that I must go back to teach

another class and I will be 

teaching in  2020 at Way Art Yonder..

so excited about that...

so enjoy this little taste..

it was a yummy weekend...

and as always...

I am eternally grateful to you..

Practice, Practice, Practice..

well dear readers,

I have been working on my new show...

Excavations

from my Ripped and Torn series..

and I have 5 small pieces to share with you..

although they are not going into the show..

they were just for 

Practice..

I once had a teacher that used to shout, "Practice, Practice, Practice..

as we were leaving the studio..

So I have made several small pieces as rough drafts..

to see how this new series will behave...

sometimes mixed media needs time to sit .. to rest

and techniques need time to develop...

 no matter how long I work with a media 

I am always learning new things..

paper teaches me so much..

It seems to me that as we develop and grow as artists we find

new ways to use the same old materials..

Excavations is an attempt to rip through the layers 

and sort out the truths..

the center always reveals what has been hiding there all along..

As I rip and tear, and focus, the dimension of the 

relationship comes clearly into focus..

and I am always reminded 

that harmony and congruence

is born from chaos..

Please save the date!!
