"Reflective"… This is bit of a hybrid…part digital, part old-fashioned assemblage/collage. I started with taking a photo of myself using my iPhone and tweaking that a bit. I then ran this thru an app called "addLib" and came up with a layered look. Using "WordFoto" I created a layer using words that I felt described…
"Untitled" is another mixed media piece…this is a smaller version of another piece I created at the same time which is much larger than "Untitled". I named the larger work, "Mind's Eye"…which I think fits nicely…but just wasn't sure what to title this one? Did all of this make sense? Hmmm….
A mixed-media collage, "Memories" was inspired by a trip to the Dayton Air Force Museum…and their exhibits about WWII. Is this collage a tribute to that war…or to something else. I'm not quite sure…I don't do that kind of heavy thinking…I'll let others decide. All I know is that this is a reflection of what…
An assemblage that started out as a cage….then went from what to put in this cage…to…well…just what you see!
Hot is a wired terrier with an attitude!! I created him using things around the house…some cans, a cut-up beer can (of course!), screws, buttons, coil… and a bit of wire soldered together. He stands about 8" high from the tips of his ears to his feet, 8.5" long from his nose to tip of…
I created this swatch by first taking a section of burlap and sponge printed reds and yellows using lino block inks. Once these dried, which took awhile, I then glued sections of marbled paper to the surface. On top of this layer, I glued green print fabric in the shapes of stalks. Then…on top of…
I created this swatch in several steps. Taking a piece of black cotton fabric, I sponge printed color blocks using acrylic paints. Once these had dried, I overprinted each block with a leaf lino-cut block that I had made for another project. For more information on how I did this swatch, please go to my…
Trying to avoid getting carried away while creating this, I decided to err on the side of simplicity….less is more sort of thing. The large flowers are cut from recycled beer cans…the other flowers are watercolored or ink colored…except for the musical flowers which were cut from "photo-layered" paper I created by in my printer.…
"Thank You, ManRay" is based on a photo by the artist/photographer, Man Ray. My collage is done on stretched canvas and is 24 x 24 inches in size. Starting first with the yellow oxide base, I collaged different papers, labels, stamps, and the like. After this step had set-up, I painted the figure using a…
"Pretty In Pink" is an assemblage doll with a real attitude! Just check out that face…she lets you know just what she's thinking!!! Standing at 18 inches tall, she is made of things I found around the house: soup can, light fixture, light bulb, bottle caps…things like that. Her arms and legs are doll parts…
