Mixed Media (or Keep Going!)

Every painting goes through an awkward stage also know as the “ugly stage”. It’s a time when you may not be sure if it is worth going on or not. 99.9% of the time it is! If you already don’t like it, then what have you got to lose? Try something little or go big. Here are paintings that went through a transformation and the effort was worth it!

Meet Me at Moonrise has found a new home and will soon be heading to Florida, where it’ll live near the beach. What a perfect place for the coming cold months! Have I mentioned lately that I’m not a fan of the cold?

So many people came from near and far, from all parts of my life! It was so fun to see who would come through those doors next. 

So many artist friends, students, church friends, and friends from all over!  I am surely blessed to be surrounded by such a supportive community!  Thank you all for coming! 
As if that wasn’t enough, I also had a few sales!

This is an exciting show for me. I went way out of my comfort zone, a fun place be, to work with new materials. I thought I’d just TRY it for a painting or two but now I love making papers and collage!
