Every year at this time, I open up my studio to collectors, friends and bargain shoppers. It’s a time for me to clean house and make room for something new to happen. In that spirit, I offer much of my older work at wholesale (or below) prices.

It’s also an opportunity for me to share my new interests which this year include more abstract work such as this piece titled On the Move. It’s mixed media including collage, photography and acrylics on canvas.

I also have a couple of new projects like The Memory Project (featured in the previous blog) and my Dogs in Hats series.

At least once a year, I revamp my website to keep it looking fresh and lively. I finished that today, so check it out.

I’ve begun work on a new series called THE MEMORY PROJECT where I use old snapshots, personal letters and mementos in a mixed media painting to create a one-of-a-kind remembrance of family and friends. This piece was created for my friend David using snapshots of his parents courting.

These commissioned pieces are a way to commemorate a moment or an era in your own life or in the lives of loved ones. As all the photos and papers are scanned, none of the originals are changed or destroyed.
