More works in progress

Been working on a couple of new mixed media collages (more like stumbling through). Managed to do things in a rather bass-ackwards manner, but that's how I learn.

Combining different elements like the drawing, collage and old woodblocks is a challenge. It's sort of like putting the pieces of a jigsaw puzzle together. But I think I'm figuring out what works, mostly by seeing what doesn't.

Icicle Lavender Field Art Festival

I'll be showing my work at the Icicle Lavender Field Art Festival (held in my friend's garden in funky Leucadia) this Saturday, December 1st,  12 noon- 4 pm with several other local artists. It's a friendly neighborhood event. Hope you can come on by!

Featured on Trice Collective

A nice treat today. One of my woodblocks, 'Personal Iconography' was featured on the website Trice Collective . The site, curated by Sawyer Trice, features affordable art that is available for online purchase. In my case, this piece is listed in my shop on Etsy.

A great concept and a wonderful way to see art selected by someone with a good eye that you might be able to afford. To read more about this site, click here. Thank you!
