Mountain Top

This photo shows an acrylic painting I am currently working on.  I have enjoyed experimenting with bright colors and shapes.

Artwork has taken a back seat for now until my travel work is done. Since March, I have been to New Mexico, Tennessee, Mississippi, Missouri, Illinois, Oregon, Montana and upstate New York. I have a few more work assignments to go before the busy season is over. I am thankful for the work I receive but will be even more thankful for the time off during the summer when public schools close down. Until then - my art adventures will have to wait.

Red Cross

I had time to put together just one red cross. Two more coming. Red river glass was cut and sculpted together with broken red/orange plates from Tennessee, creme colored stones with black speckles from California, red/fushia mini glass gems added throughout, solder lines were stained with a black patina. 14 inches tall, 8 inches wide.

My Birthday present to me......

 The photos above and below show two small paintings I bought created by Artist Domonique Boisjoli. I wish I could have afforded larger pieces. See the huge bouquets of flowers she created on the large canvas in the photos below.

Artwork of Dominique Boisjole

 These were all huge paintings, selling between $4,000.00 and $6,000.00 dollars plus. I was memorized by them all. I love the colors she chooses and of course, I have always loved flowers. My dream is to take classes from her someday.

Her gallery in Sante Fe, NM is beautiful.

Me!

 I have been working with glass for eleven years. My art is for sale in Taos, New Mexico at The Walden Fine Art Gallery, the Adelante Tea House gallery in Ashland, Oregon, and the Firehouse Art Center, in Norman, Oklahoma.  I incorporate found objects in with my sculpted glass art to make edgy, and original artwork. I make flat panels, sconces, lamps, angels, you name it, I am always pushing the envelope with my glass. I also create windows for homes as private commissions. The past two years I have begun painting with acrylics.

"Patron of My Art"

I had so much fun painting this piece. The photo below was my inspiration. As you can see I took the idea and added my own embellishments. I have titled the painting, "Patron of My Art".  I learned so much through this project.

All of my abstract paintings can be turned different directions to convey meaning.  Turning them a different direction is like a new piece of art.

I like these colors. This abstract can look different at every turn. Fun to play with.
