“Small Packets” is a little collage that is packed with all kinds of wonderful things. You can see bits of paper, tissue, magazine images, a coin wrapper, and vintage Top Value stamps I found in papers from my mom. The postage label came on a package I received by Royal Mail, hence the title of […]
“Finding My Way Home” started with a bit of nostalgia for the places I’ve lived throughout my life. I’ve been wondering how much longer I want to stay in my current home – I’ve been here since 2004. I just love it, but it’s getting to be a lot for me to keep up by […]
“Red Sky at Morning” is a small (6×4 inch) collage made with printed images, handmade papers, purchased letters, and a page from a map. I glued the map piece onto the backing board first, then adding the other pieces on top. I love using maps in my collages, partly for all the connotations of a […]
This 4 x 6 inch collage is make from magazine images, part of a map, a painted background, and some machine stitching. For some reason, I’ve struggled with the title to this piece. I’m sure I’ll change my mind a few more times before long. I’ll stick with this title, at least long enough to […]

Is today Wednesday? I’ve been thinking all day that today is Thursday. I’m so confused. Regardless, I do know that this painting is finished, and it’s my entry for Day 16 of Art Every Day Month. It’s 12 x 12 inches on paper, painted with acrylic paints and black acrylic ink.
Day 15 of Art Every Day Month. Another in my Colors and Lines series of 12×12 inch paintings on paper. It’s painted with acrylic paints and acrylic ink. I’m really enjoying this square format. This one is wild and dramatic and full of energy. Some days are just like that.
Another in the Colors and Lines series, this one cheerful and bright. These are my paintings, so I’m fond of each one in its own way. With this one, I experimented with a dry brush technique that I don’t often use. The paper has a pink and white floral pattern, hibiscus maybe? that peaks through […]
Another 12×12 painting in my Colors and Lines series. This one is very much inspired by the windy fall weather we’ve been having. It’s also my entry for Day 13 of Art Every Day Month, November 2011. It’s acrylic paint and india ink on paper.
More fun with the colors and lines paintings! 12×12 inches on paper, just like the others. This has some wonderful purple and turquoise colors. Detail images are below.
