Skelletines!

As a celebration of unconditional love these hand made Skelletines have been mailed to loved ones all over the country.  Happy Valentines Day from my home to yours.

More Mimemes

Please feel free to share the Mimemes widely!

Mimeme

I’ve always loved playing with images and text.  These “Mimemes” are pages from several art books and journals of mine.  The quotes are from  You Already Know What to Do, which I found on the street and cut up for my own nefarious purposes.

Please feel free to share the Mimemes widely!

Birthday Commission

A collector of mine commissioned a custom Memorial Plaque for her mother’s 98th birthday. It was presented at a celebration where family and friends came from all over the world to recognize her life and achievements.  The plaque includes a classic image, favorite quotes, and colors chosen by the family.   This beautiful custom 16 inch square piece includes an archival digital image on recycled wood canvas painted with acrylics and watercolors, then finished with varnish.  The buyer was so pleased!  You know you want one, and I would be more than happy to make one for your special someone.

Art to the People!

The Day of the Dead Show was a huge success featuring fabulous art and beautiful live music, with lots of our artworks finding new homes.   We have been invited to do a monthly Second Saturday art nite at The Clubhouse.  Nicolas Caesar explains our mission: “It was one of the best art experiments we’ve done, taking art back to the people, creating a unintimidating environment, showcasing affordable art, reminding people that they can still buy are from real people from their community. Art is accessible again!”
