Glenview Mansion Art Gallery Show ends July 5, 2011

I'll be bringing home all the artwork from the Glenview Mansion Art Gallery on July 6th. So far everyone who bought work lives in the area and I'll be having a lunch at my place where people can pick up their purchases and visit my studio. 

I've put up a page with all the prices here and there is contact info at the top of the page. Feel free to send me an email with any questions.

Here is another piece for the show in June at Glenview Mansion Gallery in Rockville MD. A friend named Julie gave me the horse to use, the wood is from an ex-birdhouse that my uncle built, and there is a tin type and a washer in the hanging magnifying glass. The chain reminds me of old swing set chain before they became heavy duty and 'safe'.

Preview - Orange 8 Glenview Gallery June 2011

Orange can be harsh or it can be happier than yellow. I started loving orange a few years ago. I think it evokes a visceral reaction - probably because it's such an all or nothing color and so close to the sun. One either loves it or hates it.  Do you have a new color in your palette or wardrobe that you are surprised to find you like?

Second Sneak Peek of Show in June - "What Little Girls Are Made Of"

 This is another Mixed Media Collage titled "What Little Girls Are Made Of" and it's 14" x 16". I made it using a scan of a vintage photo that was manipulated in Photoshop and printed out, papers, vintage rhinestone buttons, paper, and a dial from a retro bathroom scale. Details of the collage follow below.

This work will be included in the show in June 2011 at Glenview Mansion Gallery in Rockville, MD.

 I'm using numbers as an element in my new work. For my last show the magnifying glass was a main element and while it appears again in some of the work, this time the numbers are a repeating theme. Many of the figures have a 'halo' made from vintage bathroom scale dials. The new pieces are paper sewn onto paper with some fabric added. I'm using buttons and other 3D elements on them as well. I'll be sharing more about my process as well as posting more photos each month.  Hope to see you there at the show!

Inside the current issue of Somerset Apprentice are two articles by me - one about the art made for the Disintegration Project and the other about a mixed media piece. In the articles I explain how I made each piece. It's in the bookstores now.
