Fine Art
My found object, mixed media artwork deals with finding the positive and seeing the world as it could be no matter how it may currently be. All of my work is an experiment or exploration and I rarely repeat an image or materials. Following is a sample of my collection. Pieces available for sale can be found on my shop.

Still Life #2 – Acrylic paint, adhesive and copper wire on board. This still life is a play with using paint as a sculpting material. The vase and flowers are painted adhesive in copper wire forms.
Moving On – Mixed media includes wood, cloth, Bismuth metal balloons. The concept was inspired by the idea of all those who hobble together a solution, take the risks and explore new places.
Not So Still Life – Acrylic paint and Wild clay on board. A still life the moment it starts falling after the cat pushed it over.
Bring Your Own Sunshine – Paper on canvas. Inspired by the idea of umbrellas as shelter and the power of choosing our attitude.
Deconstructed House – Acrylic on canvas. Even when it feels like our world has fallen apart, the pieces remain. We can pick them up and rebuild, scars, new direction and all.
Paint Moon – Dried house paint on canvas. This is what happens when the moon gets too hot and the cheese starts melting.
Rainbow Tree – Acrylic over paper forms on canvas. Inspired by Autumn leaves flowing off a tree that reminded me of the stripes my friends had on their bedroom walls in the late 70’s.
Dot Tree – A playful piece that captures the joy trees bring us. Like a tree it can be see simply as an overall form or more complexly as you look closer.
Flowers in Vase – Textile, acrylic paint on board. An abstract still life that abstracts the softness of the flowers through textile.
