Sneak Peek into My Latest Work: Strange and Unusual Creatures

I’ve been painting and wanted to send an update about the storytelling component of my work. I like to base each series on a particular vision that inspires a deeper exploration of a specific theme. I think this allows me to create work that is more meaningful and authentic and helps me focus the creative path through the work.

Exploring Texture: New Artwork for My Upcoming Show

I’m excited to share my latest mixed media artwork with you – a star on an 8×8 cradled panel. This piece is part of a series I’m working on for an upcoming solo show this summer, and I’m thrilled with how it turned out.

Bounty – A Still Life Exploration; Series Complete

It seems that every harvest season I return to the forms of fruit and vegetables in an ever evolving exploration of their forms and colors. I’ve closed the series and am excited to offer it to you as a PDF eBook/catalog for the first time!

How about “The Dawning” – how does that sound?

How about “The Dawning” – how does that sound?

I’m sure enough that this one is done that I’ve put my signature mark on it but that doesn’t always mean I won’t tweak it a bit.

Hey there! Just wanted to share a studio update w Hey there! 
Just wanted to share a studio update with you all - I've been working on some new mixed media pieces for my upcoming show, El Circo de Animales Extranos! Can't wait for you all to see these strange and unusual creatures.

This patterned bird, 12 x 12 on canvas, is one of the earlier finishers from the new series.

Happy Mail is here! πŸ’Œ UPDATE: Still quite a few Happy Mail is here! πŸ’Œ
UPDATE: Still quite a few left! If you haven't DM'd me your address, do that now because they're going in order of me getting the addresses until they're gone. πŸ’

You know I love sending happy mail, so I'm excited to say that I'm participating in the #oneofmanypostcard postcard initiative.

How it works: I have 18 postcards handmade and cut from a single mixed media piece - swipe to see that - each one has my mark and my signature on the back. Just comment that you'd like to have one and then DM me your address. On or around the 26th of March, 2023 I'll mail it to you. Then, when you receive your postcard, consider what you would have paid or what you can afford and make a donation to a charity of your choice in that amount. Last, post a photo here and tag me so I know that your postcard arrived safely. 😊 

Many thanks to @shedstudio52 for sharing this with me and to the originator @johnapedder for coming up with such a great idea!
