Works in Progress
Awoke early this a.m. with an urge to work on my current projects. I've got several things in the works.
A larger abstract piece of greys and taupes with orange;
my sister collaboration "Portal";
a small format series for the upcoming Ricky Tims show MicroCosmos: Little Worlds;
and a self portrait in analgous colors.
This seems to be the way I work...flitting from project to project until one is done then I start another to fit in. Little chance of boredom!

ArtQuilts images...surprise!
I entered this piece on a whim to the photoimage based exhibit, ArtQuilts images sponsored by PAQA - South and juried by Hollis Chatelain and Carolyn Mazloomi. It's a simple small collage with a couple different techniques for the photo transfer (learned from Leslie Riley in Houston last year). I like it but didn't really think it would be show material...just goes to show you, you can't really predict what the jurors/judges will like or how it might fit into a particular show!
