It’s such an honor to be featured in Maxine Masterfield’s Spirit of Experimental Art, and it’s free to subscribe! The topic this time is “The Power of Observation,” so this piece, Reshaping the Shadows: Unseen Omens, is especially appropriate. I’m in the Finding Inspiration section; get your subscription here:

Curious about how this was done? I’ll explain next month, so be sure to sign up for email updates!

 

ANSWER TO MYSTERY TECHNIQUE #47:

Here’s another example of what happens when you start with dark paper instead of white. This time I began with dark green Lama Li Lokta, a handmade paper from Nepal. While it has an interesting texture because of the fibers, I wanted more color variety. I used a crumpled piece of plastic to apply acrylic paint, making an irregular pattern of yellow greens and blue greens to contrast with the color of the paper.

My First Billboard!

I never dreamed that I’d have work featured on a billboard! Art history students at Vanderbilt University selected and curated this exhibition; it’s an intriguing comparison of similar themes in medieval texts and contemporary book arts. I’m so honored that they chose one of my books; it was inspired by my 3-year-old niece – the figure can twirl on her string.

Here’s a photo from the reception and another view of the case featuring my piece.

And there’s more! It’s rare that I  have 2 major events so close together! Here’s a shot of my table at Watkins College of Art, Design & Film. Saturday night was their big pARTy celebration.
