City Life Side By Side

I just love the old brownstones and how the laundry was hung between the buildings (actually, many were hung over the streets from facing buildings). The colors and the community of people…side by side.   This piece is mixed media because I not only painted but used elements from other ink drawings, illustrations and water colors I…

Repose in Roses II

Digital, typographical collage. As I began learning about digital art, I tried my hand at intricate typography collages….and just loved doing them!! It was fun looking for fonts and embellishments that matched certain themes. This is one of the pieces that resulted…
