Abstract Paintings (65 items) The paintings in this gallery are acrylic mixed media and most are done on 3" deep canvases. This allows me to have the designs flow over the edges ..this gives me five sides to paint and offers the viewer many different angles from which to observe the painting. Ferns, yarns, jewelry, and stones are layered in with acrylic mediums to create interesting textures. At times I make a laser tranfer of one of my photographs and layer that in as well.
Gyotaku (8 items) These fish prints are done using real fish on traditional papers and non traditional papers. The chops used are my name, success, and happiness. The fish are pure prints except for the eyes which I paint or choose not to paint depending on the feel.
Filtered Figures (8 items) These figure drawings were done in charcoal, conte, pastel, and pencil on a variety of surfaces using live models. The drawings were then turned into digital images and enhanced and filtered using Adobe Photoshop. Sizes,colors and textures can be changed to suit your space.
Photography (13 items) I love to play with my photos and sometimes the results are interesting. My goal is to turn the realistic image into something other than what it obviously is. At times I use these as laser transfers on my mixed media pieces.
Archives (11 items) These paintings were done when I first started to experiment with different materials for creating textures. They were displayed in a one woman show at Everett Community College.
